Define "extreme action" to avoid being arrested.
Caution suggested - slippery road.
Understood.
The problem here is that if a citizen is being assaulted by armed officers then that person could argue they were in fear of their life, citing past cases where officers have shot dead people and animals for nothing. I know where Grapeshot is going here and understand. However one is certainly allowed to use whatever force is necessary to protect ones life. If an officer tries to steal your weapon you know he will either do it or murder you. Perhaps it may be best simply to reiterate the law as quoted earlier
704.4 DEFENSE OF PROPERTY.
A person is justified in the use of reasonable force to prevent or
terminate criminal interference with the person's possession or other
right in property. Nothing in this section authorizes the use of any
spring gun or trap which is left unattended and unsupervised and
which is placed for the purpose of preventing or terminating criminal
interference with the possession of or other right in property.
I don't duck and dodge easily and i'm not going to continue a discussion when I have to tread on eggshells. I either say it how I see it or don't say anything
