I’ve had to disarm a guy, post IAF, working reserve checkpoint duty. (It’s what happen to old guys who still want to serve.)
The smartest guy I ever saw ignored our commands to drop his weapon, instead kept his hands WAY over his head, fingers spread, turned around, then slowly dropped to his knees.
(It turned out to be a Druze legally carrying a weapon.)
Just to be curious, did you really command that person to touch his weapon? If so, why?
