The blogger didn't call the police.
The homeless person DID, and the blogger lost his CHL.

Seriously? Is there something in PA law that differs than TX? Maybe they are required to report? Maybe their justifications for deadly force is different?

Do you have a link to the blog posting about this?

Say you're walking down the street, some thug pops out with a knife demanding your money. You respond by drawing your weapon and asking him to think twice about his actions. He turns and runs. There is no longer an immediate threat so you reholster your firearm.

Are you required to report such an incident? If not, would it be wise to do so just in case there was someone half way witnessing it and all they saw was you pull a gun?

I would imagine in such a scenario you'd be walking down the street b/c you were en route to some place and wouldn't want to be held up by waiting for the cops to show up and take a report. At at the same time though I certainly wouldn't want to be breaking any laws by not reporting or risk the cops chasing me down for being an unknown person that just drew his gun on someone.
