I agree with this.K.Mooneyham wrote:Reading back through this, I would say that the older man is dead because he was on his own property and here is why. Being on HIS property, he probably felt that being armed was completely okay and why should the LEO want to disarm him. IF he had been on someone else property, or on public property, I'm thinking he would have had a different mindset. Of course, this is 100% speculation on my part, but the man was a CHLer, so he had to have been through the class, and have been told that an LEO can temporarily disarm you for "officer safety". I'm just saying that maybe he didn't feel like that applied to him because the property was his.
I've seen an awful lot of "from my cold dead hands" talk lately, on this forum and others. It's very easy to draw the line when there's a full-on revolt. Prior to that, everybody draws their line in the sand somewhere. Perhaps this man's line was in his yard, when he was the one that called the police in the first place.
