Reply #46: A cop WOULD HAVE shot him.

[Xithras]

No police officer, suddenly finding himself confronted with an armed person at an active shooting site, is simply going to order him to drop it. That's why they taught us to drop our guns BEFORE the police enter the room in my CCW training course. Being "the guy with the gun", as the cops swarm in and see bodies everywhere, will get you a serious case of the "deads".

It is a Hollywood myth that the police have to order you to drop the gun. In an active shooting situation, the police can legally shoot you dead without a word if they adjudge you to be an imminent threat to themselves or to the other people in the immediate area.
