Flame suit on!
It seems to me that we get scenarios where folks really want to get some justification in their reasoning to shoot someone in an ambiguous situation.
The drawing on a cop thread running has that flavor. I've seen it in others and in classes over the years.
It usually goes, what if some badguy stands up in the bank, the Burger Barn, holds my brother at gunpoint but says he is a cop, opens my front door, etc., etc.
There is a wave of reasonable responses that try to shoot only as a last resort but then some folks just want to SHOOT the guy and become angry if you disagree.
So there - flame me.
PS - in FOF - one of the risks is that it becomes a shootfest as it is fun for guys. I know an instructor who threw a guy out of class because he just shot all the times
