Re: Threshold for legal justification of displaying/drawing

It is a fine line and smart bad guys who work in a team, like a wolf pack would "sniff their prey" before the attack. Everyone in the world knows that at ATM you keep distance until others finish their business at the ATM.

I am afraid, the same could happen in a bank while waiting in line for a real teller. Awareness and having a head that acts like that of an owl is not a bad thing.

Re: Threshold for legal justification of displaying/drawing

Welcome aboard!
1) The OP was being cased for potemtial robbery or aggravated robbery. A classic example and good "stage" in a IDPA/IPSD matches. I had one such stage in a match.

The quoted statement is correct. After displaying your firearm which is consider a force, if the 2 not-up-to-good subjects, kept advancing and tried to assault/rob or disarm the CHLer, then deadly force is justified.

The original poster does not have to be in fear of his life, but simply reacting or responding to robbery/aggravated robbery or attempt of said robbery in the making.

A) What should I do? How about yelling commands. "STOP, do not come close, BACK off, NOW!, Keep distance and switch to "red condition" i.e. ready to draw and display your firearm if needed.
B) if the 2 aggressive characters initiated a robbery by demanding money or tried to assault the CHLer to rob the CHLer, then deadly force is justified whether a weapon was displayed and threats where made or not.

Finally, It is the right place to ask and I am NOT your lawyer or any lawyer for that matter.
