I've got to agree with the man who made my holster. I've been told by LEOs that production and pointing the boom end at someone are not the same thing. From what I've been told you can show/unholster and threatened to use it, but if the use of deadly force isn't legal, you can't point it at anyone. It moves from threat, to assault once you point it at them; seems logical to me. My reaction to a holstered gun and one pointed at me are going to be very different, assuming things haven't escalated and I don't think the person is going for it. That being said, I don't think the production of a weapon when you can't use it is a smart idea. You've effectively just given the other party reason to believe that their life is in danger, and they can now legally draw and fire on you, while you can't legally fire back.
