    I have never had to use my gun for self defense. Any info I can get on such happening is much appreciated.

    Common sense to me might not be the same to the officer (or other LTCH holder) coming in fast to stop the active shooter I've just put down.

    Sir, I'm curious what an officer thinks of the OP?
    Before the thread gets locked please. :)

    Thank you

    The only thing about the OP that I have any problem with is the person involved in shooting still holding the weapon when I (or any other LEO) arrives. For my safety and the safety of the person, I would prefer that they holster their handgun if there is no further threat from the person they shot, and the arrival of the police is imminent. With the gun still being in their hand they have immediate access to it, even if they are holding it by the slide. With it holstered there is less of a chance of the righteous shooter being mistaken for a bad guy and being shot him/herself.

    Just my :twocents:
