Hope to hell Dick is saying "I'm with you" rather than "I like your hairdo."
" I need your gun...."

A long list of issues here.
1. Why is the LEO revealing his status to me? I could just as easily be the BG's lookout man.
2. This is presented as a hostage taking not a homicide in progress so why would either the LEO or I desire to change that. Lets get this guy away from most of these folks and then let SWAT deal with it.
3. If I am convinced that this about to change to a homicide in progress then the Cop can cover by back but I am not going to count on it.
4. As mentioned there is no assurance that the LEO is more capable than I am and many reasons to believe they are not.
Weapon familiarity, his blind trust that I am not a perp,
5. This is not the time to be playing hot potato with the side arms.
6. There is probably not enough time for some of the options some others have postulated.
7. I am over 40 a firearms instructor; a martial arts instructor, retired military and can vividly remember the Kitty Genovese murder in New York. This I am sure has some bearing on my view that I believe we have a social responsibility to not just walk away and let others die. I think that this is moral cowardice and I would have much trouble sleeping if I knew I had run when my abilities would have made the difference (I do understand that the litigation situation in this country is insane).
