Yep, that is exactly it for me. Pardon me if I have more than a little reservation that me standing there with gun still pointed at the BG when the LEOs show up will not go well for me in several ways. Our daughter has been a police dispatcher in a local town in the DFW area for several years. I'll simply say that not all dispatchers are top performers and that not all messages delivered via 911 phone calls are correctly communicated to the responding officers.mgood wrote: If he's on the floor, injured, it may be difficult to justify shooting him again. So you may be standing there with a gun on him. You may be afraid that if you put your gun away, that this person may suddenly decide to continue the fight, but equally afraid that if you don't put your gun away, the police will shoot you when they arrive on the scene. I think that's what this discussion is about.
So, hypothetically, what would you use as the criteria for adding more lead to the situation if the BG does fall to the ground and initially doesn't move. As I weight the risks of a) maintaining a continuing cover, b) withdrawing far enough that a firefight doesn't erupt before the LEOs get there when the BG surprisingly is up and moving around and adding enough "insurance" to the situation that will later get me a long term in prison, none of the options look very good.
