the answer you were given is accurate if it had happened in my neck of the woods....

Not everyone lives in your neck of the woods.
In my neck of the woods there are plenty of old wells that.....

Then it appears your hypothetical was far to generalized to be worth much, right?
We Never Know
No Slack
Was it? Do you know what their neck of the woods is like or just base everything off your neck of the woods? .

You left out a long list of details.
As evidenced by your long list of details in your post that starts with "Depends"
Not only that, but I for one do not expect people outside my neck of the woods to know all the pertaining laws in my neck of the woods.
Now perhaps if you present a hypothetical that includes enough details to get to the answer you are looking for...
You'd rather the police officer had the measure of justice with his trigger finger?
Aye, tis self preservation mode.
I would be anyway.
But at least the accusation wouldn't be
one made by a prosecutor to a jury.

It's a poor excuse for a twenty something veteran of the force.

If she had her taser on the same side of her body as her firearm she could get in trouble.

That's something I had in mind when posting.
But even still, if it was in the proper place, can anyone think a 20 plus year veteran would be so daft as not to confuse left from right?
I see another court case building on the horizon.

This was pretty major. But we are of course discussing this from a legal point of view.
It depends upon the prosecutor.
Some are pro-armed self defense.
Some (where I live) are not.
Even if one is tried & found not guilty,
I wouldn't call this being "off scot free".
Note that the "S" in "scot" should not be capitalized.
(Nothing to do with Scotsmen or Dred Scott.)
The term, "scot", once meant a tax.
