ACTICVE SHOOTER TRAINING COMPLETED

[Airgator0470]

Well you certinly pulled a quick left turn there, didn't you! LOL.

What I was getting at was what would you do if you encountered a man with a gun after you got a call about a man with a gun... Or, if you would prefer, what do I NEED TO DO, to keep you from shooting me.

See what I'm getting at here?

And I'm kind of suprized that there ISN't a law prohibiting that... I imagine that would open up an agency for ALL SORTS of liability if you ask me to help clear a building and shit goes sideways because of something I did/didn't do/did wrong...

Too many variables to give a straight answer... obviously I'd have to make a determination YOU are not the guy I'm looking for. If you see or hear LEO coming.... disarm, hold your hands high, and DO WHAT EVER YOU ARE TOLD WITHOUT DELAY. Face away from approaching officers, make no sudden movements.

Don't worry... I don't think cops will be asking for help because of what you mentioned.

Which is exactly the catch-22 I thought we would end up at...


SEEING officers approaching is one thing. In that case, I'm cool with all of the above.

But If I know that there is a guy wandering around in here with a gun, looking to shoot people, and all of the sudden someone behind me tells me to drop my gun and put my hands up, I'm gonna want to take a peak and see WHO exactly that is. If he's done up in full tactical gear with six of his buddies stacked off his left shoulder, all is good. If it's one crazy sumbitch with a rifle pointed at me, well I'm probably already screwed, but in an effort to save my own life, or at least take that fucker with me, me and my weapon need to be QUICKLY moving in a lateral fashion AND on the way to acquiring a target the SECOND he starts speaking... Which will get you shot at if it is LEO's...

So...
Option 1 is stand still and hope it's not the bad guy.
Option 2 is move and hope it's not the cops.





SIDE BAR - What's the rational for "Face away from approaching officers"?

SIDE BAR - What's the rational for "Face away from approaching officers"?

So as not to be perceived to be confronting or squaring off... in hopes the perception of facing away is less threatening. Just another thing to consider.
