Amen to that. I haven't been pulled over in quite some time, but when I do I sit still with both hands in plain sight on the steering wheel. If a cop had his gun drawn I wouldn't even blink.

Sounds to me like this guy has a way of finding and defusing trouble, in the process saving multiple innocent lives. He's also one hell of a shot. The guy with a baby sounds a little Dirty Harry, but it also sounds like it was very much a tense and volatile situation. It's not like they showed up because of a noise complaint, the guy was threatening a neighbor with a gun. Not exactly normal balanced behavior.
