The Paris situation is an absolute tragedy. I want to use it as a reference... as to something that could happen here in the USA or Canada... or anywhere in the World where posters are from.
Here's my hypothetical story...
So you have a situation... police haven't arrived yet. You are alone (not with family) and you have your piece on you. People are screaming.... and start running in all different angles. You clearly don't know what's going on but... it's shocking. A few seconds later... you now see blood and a body laying in the street. You now hear an explosion.
Are you allowed to reach for your gun and show it? Again.... police or any type of authorities have no arrived yet. Do you show your piece for your protection? What if you start scaring other innocent bystanders? What if someone has their piece on them as well... and they shoot you?
What if you're scattering showing your weapon..... (running while holding it) and the police arrive... and they've been briefed to shoot at anyone holding a gun? They see you with your gun... thinking you might be the suspect or mad bomber... and they open fire on you?
Again.... just a hypothetical situation that could happen. Just wanted to hear what you would do in this kind of situation. Use the Paris situation as a scenario.
