But it is not an issue with me as I would not have a gun in my hand when they drove up.

As a LEO myself, I know a lot of LEO'S. I can't say that I wouldn't shoot someone who is not pointing a weapon at me, but is pointing a weapon at someone else. As a LEO, we have more of a responsibility to act than a CCW holder. To me, just because the BG isn't pointing the weapon at me, doesn't mean I would not discharge my weapon if the BG is threatening someone else. OMO
