In most of these shootings there is no time to follow a procedure. Police officer comes. Police officer sees person with gun. Police officer shoots with little or no warning.
I must disagree. When all officer involved shootings involving “innocent” individuals are compiled a relatively large percentage are ruled justified due to inappropriate response by the civilian gun owner.
If even half of that % is accurate (as certainly some police butt cover is inevitable) It’s a sizeable number.
One would naturally expect that CCW holders being shot more often is simply a result of more CCW holders in the citizenry as certain number of these are simply result of “perfect storm” circumstances where neither party was negligent.
You will find that most experienced officers actually are more at ease (traffic stops) with CCW holders than the general public because they know that CCW holders generally know proper procedure and commit far less crime than the average Joe.
Unfortunately some CCW holders are not familiar with proper procedure or for some inexplicable reason choose to not follow it. And that is a recipe for disaster more often than not.
One thing that is indisputable....If all gun owners would know proper procedure when encountering a LEO and follow it to a T, a significant amount of needless innocent citizens being shot by cops would not occur.
