In Texas the courts are still swayed by the news stories and public opinion which our chl instructor reinforced with us.
Pulling your wepon is considered force using it is deadly force and depending on the situation played on the nightly news may not be what you were forced to do. He reminded us that in a felony type situation deadly force is much easier to walk away from but civil courts may not agree with your lawyer.
As many have stated if there is time and there are others around you i would yell for perp to stop and show me his hands, get on the ground etc as loud as i could, if they have a gun and it is pointed in my direction or it was started to be lifted from a waist upward i would take that as a threat and be forced to stop the threat....which is the forst thing i have been told to say to the police, i had no other choice but to stop the threat and i was in fear of my life and that of the others aroound me etc. Hand over your chl and other liscense and say nothing further to the police or media.
Anything else might get turned around or in the heat of the moment you may say something you didnt really mean.
Hand over your gun if asked and let the law do its thing from there, after that you have no controll over what happens, the less you say means there is less to get turned around.
