If I felt I could draw and point the gun, and it would save my life, WITHOUT
shooting the BG, I would do it, but only if it were down to either show him or
shoot him, I guess.
You're faced with a dilemma here. If you shoot the guy, he's dead, he can't
testify against you. You brandish the weapon, even if you don't actually point it
at someone, it's very easy for them to lie, say you pointed it, THEN you get
charged with a third-degree felony.
Tough choice, but I guess I'd still rather risk standing in court, rather than
live with killing someone.
With only moments to make the right decision, I guess we all hope we'll make
the right choice, and LE will see it our way.
