If you remember the Dallas police shootings a couple of years ago, there were a large number of people marching who were carrying AR-15s on their backs just to show off. When the shooting started, those people headed in the other direction; some of them actually turned their guns over to the nearest police officer.
Let's see now. There is an active shooting scene, and you have a weapon. Now, the cops show up and see you with a weapon. The cops have no idea that you are retaliating against the real idiot. All they see is you armed and firing. Do you think that possibly, just maybe you could be mistaken for the perp? |
