Sorry, let me try to explain it better. How will it change an encounter with a cop for a routine traffic stop? I don't think it will. But it does depend on the area. Of course if you get pulled over, always be respectful. Not because it's a cop that is pulling you over, but because it's another human being.
I escalated it to the situation of shooting because I thought your question was what impact would it have if you needed to use it. For example, Mike Brown. Had he legally owned a gun in his state (idk if it's a concealed carry state, and I'm aware that he wasn't 21 but it's a hypothetical situation.) he might of been able to defend himself from Darren Wilson. Had he been killed, it would have been justified, but he might of gotten Darren Wilson out of this world.
idk if this makes sense. I suppose what I'm attempting to say is, a gun is a great responsibility. it should only be used as a last resort. If that last resort must be used, you have an opportunity to defend yourself, although I hope you never have to get to that last resort.
So, how in the hell will an interaction with a cop lead to you having to pull 9 out on him? It hopefully wouldn't. But if you ever find yourself in a life and death situation, you'll have the option of life.
I kinda get the where you are heading. Of course we have our opinions and differences I just think the cops need to work big time on their relationships with civilians as do civilians with cops. Till then it's just an endless cycle
