Legal Implications if you Draw Your Pistol?

[Captain Hollow Point]

It's always best to draw as a last resort. Always call 911 in any situation, and always try to flee if possible. As far as being sued by a degenerate scum criminal's family, get a lawyer, it'll be thrown out and then countersue. I have no sympathy for criminals. It always amazes me when a court will even hear a lawsuit by some scumbag's family who was shot breaking into an innocent person's home. It's illogical nonsense that a court shouldn't even entertain IMO.

Except for the home invasion, how would you deal with most situations if you were not armed?

Escape and evade the situation at all cost. Get into a crowd, a store, anywhere. If you are cornered become an animal. Better yet, develop enough situational awareness that it doesn't happen.

Don't unarm yourself. Problem solved

Point is, would you flip someone off if you didn't have a gun.

I dont understand the question.

My friend Paul in Ohio had to draw his G23 I believe it was, on a maniac in a road rage incident a few years ago. The guy was walking towards him with a baseball bat. I think he said he pointed it at him out of the driver's side window and the guy ran away. I'd consider that a good example of justifiable drawing.

I quit flipping people off once I started carrying a gun. No point instigating.

Turning tail is the problem with this fucking country!

I disagree. It implies the guy is in his car. If you can drive off, then drive off. If you can't drive off, roll up the window and wait for guy to break window with bat. Then shoot the fucker. Just my view.

Here in the civilized world, killing unnecessarily is frowned upon.

There is a continuum of force, ranging from "run away in fear" to wreaking havoc with blades, war elephants, thermobaric bombs and chemical weapons.

"Defensive display of firearm" is a valid term that describes educating the goblin without actually pointing the gun at him.

It also coincides with preparing to escalate the violence as needed.

We are not limited to the binary decision "don't draw" or "draw and shoot".
