Portland State University Police Shoot Concealed Carrier Who Dropped His Gun During a Street Fight

I don't think disarming the officers is the correct answer, but you better bet your ass I'd sue (or would hope my famiy would, had I been the victim)! I know it's easy to armchair a situation when I wasn't there, but that sounds like really poor control of the situation on the part of PSU security and a lot like a "shoot first, ask questions later" type of response. Any non-LEO person would be hung out to dry. The outcome of this should be interesting.

Tricky.

Do you let your pistol lay there so as not be be mistakenly shot? But if you do, one of the currently involved melee hotheads might pick it up. No good answer.

Obviously, this should remind us all several things;....1) have a proper retention holster so this doesn't happen,...2) beware that ANY altercation you get involved with, even to break it up and create peace, is potentially worsened by the presence of your weapon due to just this sort of unintended thing, so be SURE getting your ass involved is necessary. If not,...just stand back and record it all for WorldStar.

Good choice, minding my own business is a full time job. I even do it on the weekend.
