    So calm demeanor and holstered weapon means someone is not a threat?

    Should police take guns from people who they are investigating (aka the 2A audit) if they have a calm demeanor and have the weapon holstered or in a sling while they are invistagating since they are not a threat?

    Yes, I'm saying unequivocally that someone with a calm demeanor and a holstered weapon is not a threat (assuming there aren't other extenuating circumstances ... like them calmly making a threatening statement). To accept anything less than this means that anyone can use lethal force against anyone who is in possession of a firearm regardless of the circumstances.

    When police are investigating someone with a calm demeanor and weapon holstered they should not be pointing guns at them. Doesn't mean they shouldn't take their gun during the duration of the contact.

    Yes I'm saying officers that draw down on someone just for the "crime" of possessing a firearm should lose their jobs (if not their freedom).
