Bingo.
The best "defense" is to call 911, stay on the line, give a clear and accurate description of yourself, the current situation as you are aware of it - do not assume(!!!) and state that you will IMMEDIATELY COMPLY with instructions given by the first badge on the scene (then do it).
What comes to mind is "reluctantly holster". I teach students that the big hurry is to get the gun out and put it to work but not to holster it in such a hurry.
As a side note, how many times have we seen someone "practicing" draw, fire a few rounds, then automatically reholster? Bad news; that is not practicing anything. That is training your brain to make it easier for you to be killed by the threat's accomplice.
Anyway . . . it is entirely conceivable that some law enforcement officer may encounter you before you are positive - or positive enough - to re holster. Make absolutely certain that you comply with direction immediately. DO NOT take the time to weigh whether the instruction makes sense to you or not. If you do not know for certain there is no more threat draw some 'comfort' in knowing that in all likelihood the person issuing you instructions already has their firearm out and at high ready.
Heck, chances are they already have their finger on the trigger.
. . but that is a dissertation for another thread.
