Opinion 1: When a cop tells you to do something, you do it immediately. Don't argue, don't resist. If you do what you're told you won't have a problem. If someone gets shot by a cop because they didn't comply with his orders it's their own fault.
Opinion 2: We need our guns to resist tyrannical governments

???


It's not really contradictory because they, for the most part, don't believe the government is tyrannical. Not counting the more extreme libertarian types, who aren't exactly the typical conservative.

Conservatism typically includes a respect for legitimate authority figures like police officers. That means that they believe you should be respectful toward those police and follow directions during the process, assuming the officer is also acting in accordance with the law.

That said, they also believe the citizenry should be able to own and operate firearms in the case that the government does become tyrannical. For example, if the government wanted to take away the right to own guns.
