He looked scuzzy. He had just stopped forward motion into the store and was turning toward me. He was reaching for his wallet, but how could I be sure? How much benefit of doubt do you give someone? Once they have a gun trained on you it is too late to act. One of the rules of concealed carry is concealment, he broke the rule.
You may be right-—I hope I never have to find out. However, I would just have my hand on my gun, out of site of the guy—the minute he moved toward me would be when I would react.
Let's forget that the guy was a cop and the "rules of concealed carry".. Howzabout just a citizen inadvertently showing? Do you draw down on him? I'd like a little more info, but it looks like you may have been in the wrong here.
When one breaks the terms of their concealed carry permit, like exposing their weapon in public, their permit immediately becomes void, and that person then becomes a person in criminal possession of a handgun. At least dems the rules down in Louisiana.
Anytime a concealed carry permitee draws their weapon on someone, the police should be summoned to make a record of the circumstances of the event. If the police are going to be called you want to make sure it is you that calls them first. That was a recommendation by the career Swat police officer who gave me my CCP training. It was an all day event.
Stay safe, stay armed. S4T.
“One of the rules of concealed carry is concealment, he broke the rule.”
Yes he apparently did however that is not adequate cause to pull down on someone. I would not be in your establishment ever again if I knew where it was.
Using that attitude cops would be justified in drawing their guns every time they encounter a CCW holder.
