LEO and PROUD of it.......even if others aren't
First my response, put the gun on the deck BEFORE the cops even have chance to get out of the car, as in start putting it down as you see them almost there. Then do EXACTLY what they say and when they say to do it. I will give them a Readers Digest version then ask for a lawyer.
Now my opinion on my perspective as the responding LEO:
Read fpdshooters response above and follow it.......to the letter. Remember, you just shot someone and are armed. Any action other than putting the gun down, like dropping the mag or racking the slide could be intrepreted as hostile actions and could end with you being on the reciving end of what you just gave the BG. Just remember that if you choose to drop the mag or rack the slide, you have to move the gun, which depending on the scenario might place that in a position that could be construed as being pointed at the police. Why take the risk??? Just put it down.
