It is not deadly force until you pull the trigger. Drawing the firearm and even holding a person at gunpoint is just "force".bblhd672 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 23, 2019 2:09 pmPulling your gun in defense of a third party is using deadly force, and you would be justified in doing so if you reasonably believed it was necessary to protect the life of that third partyjoe817 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 23, 2019 10:38 am I go there all the time. It's in my area and it's right across the street from AT&T Stadium. Had I been there and saw the attack go down, I would probably have pulled my gun to ensure the victim's safety, pull her out of harms way, and let others call for police and further video this creep. I would not have fired as the use of deadly force was not justified(at that time). Had the creep pulled a gun, then all bets are off.
