Agreed - the threat of deadly force is a valid part of the "use of force" continuum, but if you're of the mindset that exposing/drawing your weapon is a commitment to shoot, then you've robbed yourself of that step in the continuum and are forcing yourself all the way to the end of the continuum (use of deadly force.)
After all, if the police can (and do) use the threat of deadly force as a tool to de-escalate or obtain compliance, why can't we?
