Police can't kill you just because they see a gun.(especially if your state allows open or conceal carry) If you are in process of committing a crime then that may be a different story.

That’s untrue. If there are no consequences to killing a person just because they are armed, then that is the same as not having the right to carry arms.
Correct. Besides possession, there has to be an imminent threat. Sadly this is loosely interpreted to favor the police.
@FreethoughtKaty police can't kill people just because they are armed thats murder. Police interact with armed citizens every day.

@Tejas I can keep doing this all fucking day
Unless you want to amend your post to say
"police can't kill WHITE people just because they are armed thats murder. Police interact with armed citizens every day."
@LenHazell53 your comments are disingenuous at best. Their are millions of open/concealed carriers in the us
@LenHazell53 before you spew your opinions all over the place regarding American issues, I suggest you become a citizen. Or you could continue to clutter the comments with your irrelevant foreign opinions.
@Tejas jeebus, what planet did you just return from...they can & do kill people (black people!!!) for simply suspecting they have a gun...all the freaking' time! Disingenuous or willfully blind?
@AnneWimsey so all black people carrying guns are fair game to police? Can you be anymore dishonest?
@Tejas Ummm, again, missing the Entire point...all black people are fair game for Some cops. Period. Now, you see how I used short, simple words? Try harder!
@Tejas
"Their (sic) are millions of open/concealed carriers in the us(sic)"
And the very fact that you (and millions of others in the U.S.) do not see a problem with that explains why the rest of us "foreigners" find your country so incomprehensibly and determinedly idiotic.
@AnneWimsey ok and its illegal for cops to kill just because someone is armed or black. I'm beginning to think you can't read.
@LenHazell53 there are lots of reasons to own and or possess a firearm. If you can't think of any, thats on you.
@Tejas A firearm has only one reason to exist and so has only one reason to be owned, to kill, if you cannot see that, I first pity you and second find the culture that did not teach you that very disturbing.
"its illegal for cops to kill just because someone is armed or black."
But until the new precedent was set yesterday, it was seemingly perfectly legal for cops to kill just because someone is armed AND black
@LenHazell53 ignorance is bliss
@Tejas
And yet you do not see the irony in your having written that
@Tejas except for this week, show me One instance where a cop was convicted....in fact, in most cases there isn't even a trial. You act like saying "it is illegal" has actual meaning (Image in my head right now: "it's illegal, it's illegal Squaaack" Gimme a Cracker Squaaaak)
@Tejas my ex had 3-4 rifles and 4-5 shotguns for hunting. He quit the NRA decades ago when they "got weird"
@AnneWimsey yes police get away with alot of bs, but saying there are no consequences for shooting armed people is an outright lie
