Seriously...
I'm totally serious
3 years ago while taking pictures from the Kent Narrows bridge in MD, a local police car came flying up with it's lights and siren on. The officer jumped out of the car with his gun drawn. While aiming his gun at me, he screamed at me to drop the weapon! I told him it was just a camera and set it down on the asphalt (D600 gripped w/ Tokina 400mm 5.6).
After a few tense minutes of explaining what I was doing and giving him my ID, he relaxed. He said he was responding to a reported jumper call. Jumper?? WTF was the gun about !!
With this experience in mind, if I was using a BushHawk, he probably would have emptied his clip into me. I'm not anti gun, I'm anti dying to one. (IMO, the officer was heavy into steroids since he was huge and could barely fit into his uniform).
