So reading another post on here got me thinking...
Lets say you're legally openly carrying in a non-descript location, breaking no laws and being very civil. Next thing you know you get a stupid over-reacting LEO that immediately draws his weapon on you and starts telling you to get down on the groundand/or disarm yourself soley because you're armed.
Are we required to comply to such orders when they're obviously unwarranted?
Second situation. Lets say you're exiting your vehicle, so you have your handgun in your hand, pointing down, until you stand up and are able to reholster it (assuming that you've unholstered it while sitting in your car.) Or maybe you weren't doing anything at all.... The same type of LEO see's this as a threat requiring immediate action, and starts firing with little or no warning (yes, I know this SHOULDN'T happen, but it might..).
Would you take cover and attempted to communicate? What if there's no cover? Would you run? Would you shoot back?
