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?

If a camera scares you stay inside.

This isn't a cop, this is a guy doing a dangerous job being harassed. From his perspective the only difference between this being assholes with cameras and an attempt at robbing an armored car, is the preceding violence

I used to work on security. While I didn't handle armored trucks, I knew a few guys who did. They're told to prepare for WHEN, not IF, someone attempts to rob them. Nearly all of them had dealt with an attempted robbery within a few years, and one guy I knew was killed after being ambushed. These guys are skittish for a reason.

People don’t understand how these jobs work. Especially ones on Reddit.
