Guys – like I mentioned in my first post – I’m not a cop. I have no idea how an officer is supposed to handle a situation where they have confirmed shots fired. I’m almost positive that when they ran the plate of the vehicle to find out a history of the owner that it came back with 2 firearms registered to the guy, even if it didn’t, could a second firearm be concealed on him? Who knows? The police have to consider the worst case scenario ever time they go in to a situation like this.
Like Nage Waza posted – it would be nice to hear from a police officer as to what is a proper response to this kind of situation – also – what are the questions/concerns that are flying thru a cops head as they are dealing with an armed suspect.
