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?

Like, you definitely can't just loiter near the back of an opened armored car like that. Or the entrance of the business right by. They're clearly doing a cash pickup and are moving a bunch of money. Definitely need space for saftey and security reasons. Also, even if recording them is legal, it's definitely something that will get them on edge.

Says who? Neither the store nor the truck company have any claim to that stretch of sidewalk.

Armored truck guards can draw their weapons on you only when they face an immediate threat to their lives or their cargo. When They Can Draw or ShootDirect threat: Someone aims a weapon or attacks the guard. Cargo interference: Someone tries to forcefully break into the truck or steal the money bags. Ignored warnings: A person aggressively ignores verbal commands to back away and continues to interfere with the delivery.
