DM Crew Manning Non-emplaced Gun

[The Purist]

If the the crew of a non-emplaced AT/Inf gun in open ground is DM, does the +2 Gunshield negate the open ground status for mandatory rout purposes as long as the crew is in possession of said gun?

I am assuming that any enemy unit in normal range that can trace its LOS from outside the gunshield 's coverage would thus place the crew in open ground regardless of possession and thus be forced to rout.

If the crew is DM they must be broken and only Good Order Crews can claim the gunshield.

Ahah! I see that now. It was the Interdiction issue that had me wondering but there its,... only "Good Order" crews get the gunshield. This means they would have to rout for being DM and in normal range of an good order armed enemy unit.
