[QUOTE="Travis798, post: 803482, member: 5980"] I don't agree with this at all. If you get punched, and punch back, you are acting in self defense and are only using like force. There is no duty to retreat in Oklahoma. I think what the OP is asking, is in that rare time that you are unable to back down, trying to fight with a gun on your person is very unsafe. You won't find an officer trying to fist fight an aggressor because it may give him access to your weapon. A lot of Officers have non lethal alternatives, that we as civilians do not carry. Personally, I would try to walk away. If I am pursued and it escalates into physical contact, at that point I believe I am well within my rights to withdraw my weapon. You never know who is all drugged up and feeling no pain, and I'm not taking a chance of having some drugged out guy shoot me with my own weapon. As long as you truly tried to diffuse the situation, and honestly felt you were left with no other option, I don't think many officers would try to take it much further, and if they did, I personally would not convict if I were on a jury.
