"...but when somebody turns with a firearm in their hand the officer does not have an obligation to wait to get shot to return fire

What if the officer is the one who told you to remove the gun from it's holster and then shoots you for doing so?

Or, what if two cops do it tag team and one officer screams drop the weapon while other screams put your hands on your head. If you reach to remove the weapon, the one who told you to put your hands on your head will shoot you. I hope you don't think these scenarios are somehow out of the realm of likelihood.

Unless the cops are given specific procedures on dealing with CCW's they will shoot first and ask questions later. AND, they will never publish what those procedures are because that would take plausible deniability out of the cops hands and empower the CCW. Exactly the opposite of what they want.

If your comments are made in general I’m not going to argue with them. If they were a specific response to my post, all I was doing was pointing out what the article actually said.
