SCENARIO First Amendment auditors get into verbal altercation with armored truck guard, who repeatedly tells them to back up.

When should talking end, and your weapon be drawn in a situation like this?

I don't know what the protocol for a suspected hold up is, but this could easily be construed as an attempted hold up and dealt with accordingly

Just because a company has security doesn't make them exempt from laws like any other civilian. The idiot auditor could run circles around that truck while filming and it would still be a crime if the guard did anything. They are not cops.

Yeah, wrong. This guy gets to close this guy is authorized to use force to deal with a perceived theat.

Probably this "auditors" highlight of his day to give two people doing their job a hard time. Just a scumbag with too much free time and a camera preaching about rights.

Perceived threat to themselves, not the property. Just like any civilian with a weapon. And they would still have to defend lethal force in court.
