If you'd like to directly answer my question regarding how you'll respond to finding your spouse holding a stranger at gunpoint, I'll be happy to continue the conversation. But I'm not interesting in having a cop-bashing session. It seems there is no shortage of incidents where OCers have legit cause to be unhappy with how cops treat them. I don't see how this incident has anything to do with a legit grievance.
But some are intent to bash on cops whether warranted or not. They quickly become like the boy who cried wolf.

glad to, since you asked several questions, none of which as stated as the one above...

A. i'd call 911 ask for sheriff deputies to come to the residence after stating
i fear for my life, then set the phone down, pull my firearm, and seek cover with firearm at ready.
it is against NC statutes to:
1. point a firearm at anyone 14-34.
2. citizen arrest is not an option 15A-404(c)
3. you may not use deadly force against trespassers.
4. i'd be pi$$'d the stranger was still viable since my partner is a better shot, and now
they have to defend themselves judicially and possibly civilly cuz they broke the law...see 1 & 2 above.

they feared for their life. then i'd go to my residence and see who won.

4. wait for the sheriff to mitigate the situation.
5. press charges.
please understand, my partner would truly not be treated any differently than a stranger if their firearm is drawn. my tired arse would take cover with firearm drawn cuz something has them truly agitated enough to pull their firearm in the first place and i am not about going to walk up and say...'having a bad day?' nope, as mentioned they are better shots, or so i have told them! :uhoh:
btw, to clear the air, in the event my partner tried to sweep me or take aim at me with their firearm, i will defend myself w/o hesitation, not bravado mate, but fact!!
cop bashing...naw'llll sorry piper, your dance around the idiot rent a cop holding a gun on someone prone is done...flat out bad policing from the arriving since they didn't know the situation whatsoever.
