I did take the class and passed to the highest possibility and was tied for first in completing the test, though that doesn't mean much considering the class is VERY basic. And yes they did cover the use of deadly force. They stated that deadly force can only be used as a last resort and if life is at threat and/or threat of being maimed then deadly force is justified. But as you've read in the OP, I asked a question that can be considered a kinda grey area. Maybe I didn't describe the sanario that I had in mind in enough detail to express the impression a CC would have under the given sanario. I have a very elaborate imagination and do play out a lot of senarios for mental training purposes and as well entertainment purposes, and no, I'm not a psyco that plan out negetive crap, just when negative crap arrises my imagination goes wild in reaction of what happen and how I would have reacted if I was there. I even see in my mind's eye placement of trees, sidewalk, color of brick the building(s) were.
And as you must have read from other repliers, they've seem to at least catch my drift. I deff wouldn't wanna have a grassy arse with the BGs mother holding a weedwacker?
I was just wondering if it would be justified if someone approatched you in intent to cause physical harm and you expressed you did not want to engage in any contact and you stepped backwards giving away alittle bit of ground(and yes, giving ground can be viewed as cowardly, but it does give the perp time to process and to cut the crap) and still the BG is advancing agressivly in evident of causing harm to you, would it be unlawful to draw upon the guy.
And the response I got was pepper spray. Very good response by the way. But by all means your response is valid, it would be a VERY long and expesive day in court if the trigger did have to be pulled and the guy was unarmed. Yay to pepper spray!
Thanks MyXD40 for the more descriptive version of your story. Evidently if I'm the one starting this thread, then obviously I'm no LEO, but from the story you've told I see you justified in drawing. She came at you agressivly under her own will without you promoting her actions in anyway and suggested verbaly you did not want contact and she still advanced, with hand(s) in pocket no less. I'm for one am glad you didn't have to find out what was in her pocket or not.
