I'm not a cop, but I imagine that one of the worst things a cop
could think of is having a little gun-packing "helper" at the scene
of a shooting. My suspicion is that any civilian brandishing a gun
in a situation like that is going to get shot by police, probably
fatally. If I'm remembering correctly, a civilian did try to "help"
police at the scene of a shooting at a courthouse in the Ft. Worth
area a couple years ago. He had a gun. The guy who killed him (who
had already shot his own wife and son) was wearing body armor and
had a semiauto rifle. If you're ever unfortunate enough to be at
the scene of a shooting, just get the hell down and try to stay out
of the way. Otherwise, you're just making the cops' jobs more
difficult.
