DT Guy,
I forget a don't, apparently. Funny how a word left out effects the thought.
I edited my post to:
"The Four Rules are the Four Rules, by the way, regardless of who you are and your occupation. The civilians *don't* have one set, LEOs another, and military personnel a third are missing the point. Safe is safe, after all."
And I think that we are in agreement, here.
Which leaves:
"The rules that are be different, depending on the circumstances? The rules of engagement; i.e. when, why, where and how. That necessarily effects Rule 2, but does not change it."
Rule 2: Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.
It does not say: Never let the muzzle cover anything until you are ready to kill it.
The point at which civilians, LEOs, military personnel, etc may perceive that they are willing to destroy something may vary. Once that point is reached, the muzzles may come on target. Rule 2 is being adhered to.
