Muzzle never pointed at either cop. Never even displayed until the sudden move under his coat. It was hidden until then.1. BG reaches for waist
2. You transition from behind-the-leg ready to sul
That’s it? Muzzle was never on target at full extension…you only staged in 2 ready positions through entire event?
In hindsight, are you satisfied with the decisions you made, and what changes have you made - if any?
I'll be interested to hear how this all ended.
Based on the Virginia case law cited by OldMarksman in post 4, it appears that you unlawfully, without justification, threatened two people with lethal force. They apparently could have been justified in shooting you in self defense (even if they weren't LEOs).

That's certainly curious, since based on your account you most assuredly did not, but it would also have been of absolutely no value had someone in the chain of command decided to consider charges.Posted by Tinner666: The PD said we handled it correctly.

Bottom line is, if you have something worthwhile to share, by all means do so, but if your only purpose in posting here is to bask in the spotlight, don't bother. If the subject is silly or immature, don't bother. If you're thinking of posting a "shoot 'em all; let God sort 'em out" approach, don't bother.
If you're thinking of posting "screw the law, do it anyway" posts, don't bother, because you probably won't be around TFL long enough to read any replies....
