We are in an open carry state, he notified dispatch that he had a weapon. The man inside was being violent. You are allowed to use a gun to defend yourself. You are not allowed to shoot someone just because they have a gun. If you are then why the fuck is this an open carry state.    There was no active shooter- the cops were cowards simple as that. They have lower rules of engagement than fucking INFANTRY which Edgar happened to be in Iraq.          So don't go talking about how dangerous their job is either- less than 50 police died due to gunfire in 2015.
