Sorry, but part of this argument missed me.
What about the rifle was the cop “inspecting”? Did it need inspecting to verify it was covered by the 2nd Amendment?
The cop certainly had the authority to ask the person what he was doing, to ask for ID and to ask if he had done anything to alarm the 911 caller, but to grab a lawful weapon without first asking for permission would be no different that the cop dragging a driver out of their car and then proceeding to “inspect” the car’s interior without a warrant.

Not saying that. Only saying that if the officer has your weapon in his hands DON’T grab it! Reaching for your weapon WILL escalate the situation!!!!!!!!!
“but to grab a lawful weapon without first asking for permission would be no different that the cop dragging a driver out of their car and then proceeding to “inspect” the car’s interior without a warrant.”
And if you go for your weapon while the cop is ‘illegally inspecting’ your car, the situation WILL escalate!
