If an officer has his gun drawn on a man who is also holding a gun but lowered by his side. That officer doesn't have the right to shoot. The other man doesn't pose imminent danger until he raises his firearm. Those same laws apply to you.
Yes there are circumstances that can be argued in court. And jury's can swing either way depending on the argument.
Hmmmm, seems as though this is a touchy subject for me. I guess I just want everyone to gain as much knowledge as possible and a little perspective. I'd hate to see 1 bad mistake ruin the lives of so many close to that person....
