First off, I like the question. It's one of those thinkers that generates lots of discussion.
I'm not a LEO but I have LEO contacts everyday and yes I'm always carrying, some know that I carry and some don't, but spending many hours talking with LEO's gets you some insight into there world. What I have discovered is; waaaaaay to many of us (non-LEO's) answer questions that are never asked. We freely give up waaaaaay to much information. Much of which is ultimately used against us if they so choose. Now don't get me wrong. I am not knocking LEO's. The ones I know I like very much and the ones I don't know I respect very much. (yes, yes there are a few dill-holes out there but they are not the majority)
So in order to select the right option as you proposed them I would need to know how much info. you plan on giving up freely and how many questions, that weren't asked, do you intend on answering after the fact?
If this situation came to fruition and you retrieved your carry piece and subdued the bad guy. When the LEO's arrive what are you going to do/say?
Example 1
CHLer to LEO - Officer, I have subdued the BG his body is still inside. Now I know this is a bar and is properly posted as 51% venue and I know it is illegal for me to have my firearm in there but I'm a concealed carrier and oh by the way here is my CHL and DL and trust me I didn't have my gun with me while I watched my wife enjoy a few drinks but, oh ya I haven't been drinking, here smell anyway like I was saying I walked out of the bar after he came in of course,,, to grab my gun out of my car.... and I know what your gonna ask, why didn't I call 911, right? but I gotta say I was solely focused on getting my gun in my hand as fast as I could so I really didn't have time... but anyway I ran back in to the bar and shot the BG like I said... he's still in there on the floor.
LEO to CHL'er - can I get you to place your hands behind your back for "your safety and mine" (which is LEO code for you're going to jail by the way)
or
Example 2
CHL'er to LEO - Office I have subdued an armed assailant that threatened my wife and all these patrons with a large firearm. Here is my DL & CHL. for your safety and mine my firearm has been cleared and is now secured in the trunk of my car.
LEO to CHL'er - ................. wait here.
***the LEO responses are just how they play out in my head based on the information provided by the CHL'er and are strictly illustrative and meant for my amusement only ***
My point is; answer the questions that are asked and if there is a chance you could get burned don't add wood to the fire!
