I wonder how this happens. Is it a perp going for the gun "preemptively"? Is he trying to get "the drop" on the LEO? Or is it the result of a struggle?

Not to make it the point of this discussion (please do not derail the thread!), but I wonder how that also compares to OC vs. CC. You KNOW a cop has a gun - you can see it right there, where the concealed carrier is harder to identify.

I know, I know...retention holster, etc., but a perp shouldn't know a concealed carrier has a gun until he's looking down the muzzle and the trigger is being pressed. That may make it harder for him to wrestle it away. Don't know the final facts of this case yet, but it shows some real guts by the young lady.

"But they'll take your gun and shoot you!" A twist...

Remember how we are always told by those smarter-than-us anti-gun types that the robber will just take your gun away and shoot you? It seems like that can happen - to robbers in Pennsylvania:
Police said the unidentified woman wrestled the gun away from Heath and shot him.
