You can draw a weapon as a use of force and not be an actual use of deadly force. If the situation called for the threat of or the actual use of force then you would be justified in drawing the weapon as a threat that you will use deadly force.

You must be able to articulate the need for force. If the person coming at you is significantly larger then you will/should be able to articulate a fear for serious bodily injury and or possible death.
