Thats when a blue tooth head set would come in handy. You could still have both hands free to deal with the BG. I have been thinking about getting for that purpose. Im pretty sure you could set up a voice dial to diall 911. Just have kee off od something like "I need backup" or "Call Police" or what ever. It might still be viewed as a distraction but as big as having to hold a phone and your firearm at the same time. Just a thought.Liberty wrote:I for one will not be holding a phone when the manure hits the fan. Most of us will accept that a cell phone is a distraction while we are doing everyday tasks such as driving or even socializing with family and friends. The 911 operator isn't a police officer and isn't there to see what is going on.SCone wrote:It would be best to keep the 911 operator on the phone until the police show. That way you have the 911 operator telling you what is going on and they can be letting the police know what to expect when they find you. As far as keeping the intruder under control until the police arrives, get a set of handcuffs.
Yes, we need to call 911, but they will try to keep us on line as long as they can. We need to make the call as accurate but as concise as possible, and know when to drop the phone or hang up. We need to concentrate on the incident as it unfolds, and keep the distractions minimalized

Re: An embarrassingly basic question
But what are you going to do when the BG decides he faster than everyone and go after the gun you just dropped and stepped away from? That could also give the BG that time he needs to pull hidden weapon you did not see. That would make it more complicated in my opinion.Mike1951 wrote:Personally, when the officer arrives, I'm gonna be putting my handgun on the ground, car, whatever is close and putting a step or two between myself and the gun.
Not necessarily gently either. If it has to be dropped, it will be dropped.
By the time he exits his vehicle, I will be unarmed with my hands in the air.
At that point, speak when spoken to.

Re: An embarrassingly basic question
There are firearms involved. There is no makeing them feel at ease till its all said and done. I would do exactly as they say nothing more, nothing less. And above all NO sudden movements.DParker wrote:LOL! Yeah, I'd definitely be doing that. I guess what I'm looking for is something a little more proactive for the purpose of making the LEO a bit more at-ease to begin with. But perhaps that's not really feasible in this scenario.WildBill wrote:Do exactly what the LEO tells you to do.DParker wrote:So what's the standard recommended course of action here?
