This chance is always above zero, unless you've just full-body-and-orifice searched the person.
I am not american, but isn't there some constitutional clause on bodily integrity or something like that? And isn't that more important
than this right on owning guns/pointing guns at people that might own guns, and/or carry said guns?
> So as long as guns are as easily available as they are currently, it's not unreasonable to expect a law officer to start the interaction in this way which is a manner that protects the officer the most.
Going into a home gun-first is something I would expect from armed burglars, not from police that are there for a digital media search warrant.
[edit]
So, after a search, TIL: the USA does not have constitutional bodily integrity, but does grant you the right to own a gun... What ?
