A Little on the Mall ninja side of things. As long as you were not wearing your bullet proof vest, tactical thigh holster, and had 2 sets of cuffs on your belt as you do your movie style roll into the situation while displaying your shiny CCW badge and shouting “Freeze this is SLC CCW and I am ordering you to get on ground” I will let it go.

He is saying that he could shoot the guys if needed because he was working along side a cop. Whether or not this is true in this case can be debated, but I beleive this was the point.

76-2-404. Peace officer's use of deadly force.

By "acting by his (the cops)command (in this case by not opposing assistance)in his aid and assistance, is justified in using deadly force (if it is justified to begin with)

UTOC - don't delete the original post. It presents a unique situation that if you think long and hard about it has the potential to spark some dialogue that can be beneficial to all that think about the situation and respond!! At least tell me that you were starting to seethe point I was working my way at getting to.
