Re: finally had to draw

Cosmo, I agree that there is a chance that this could have ended up pretty badly. However, I think the OP erred on the side of the lesser of two evils. Overall, the situation had an excellent outcome, and it doesn't sound like the two "upstanding citizens" contacted the police after having a gun drawn on them "for no reason".

On a side note, our discussion reminds me of this joke :biggrinjester: :
Question: You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children. Suddenly, a dangerous looking man with a huge knife comes around the corner and is running at you while screaming obscenities. In your hand is a Glock .40 and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family. What do you do?

Liberal Answer:
Well, that's not enough information to answer the question! Does the man look poor or oppressed?
Have I ever done anything to him that is inspiring him to attack? Could we run away?
What does my wife think? What about the kids?
Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand?
What does the law say about this situation?
Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me?
Does he definitely want to kill me or would he just be content to wound me?
If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me?
This is all so confusing! I need to debate this with some friends for a few days to try to come to a conclusion...

Conservative Answer:
BANG!

Texan's Answer:
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! click...
(sounds of magazine being ejected and fresh magazine installed)
Wife: "Sweetheart, he looks like he's still moving, what do you kids think?"
Son: "Mom's right Dad, I saw it too..."
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
Daughter: "Nice grouping Daddy!"

Re: finally had to draw

Stealing this quote from the "Almost robbed in Wal-Mart" thread:
Dragonfighter wrote:If I am approached and I tell the guy to stop where he is and he continues to approach he is threatening force (intimidation is force).
Idk about you guys, but having two dudes hanging out in the dark until they see me and my girlfriend walk up and only then beelining it straight for us while ignoring everything I say... I could definitely see that as intimidating. Unless my gf's a ninja, then I'm outnumbered, it's dark and I probably can't discern very easily if they're holding / hiding any weapons, and anyone who isn't up to no good wouldn't be acting this way. Now I'm not 100% sure that intimidation counts as force (though I would like to believe Dragonfighter on this), I am however 100% sure that I don't want to risk my safety or the safety of the ones I care about because I'm too slow to call a threat a threat.

If I had been in this situation, I would have had my hand on my pocket gun while changing direction. If they followed my then I would gladly have pulled and shot if the display of deadly force didn't deter them. I see this as just another way of legally covering my 6, if I can show that they were unresponsive to commands and were following me.

Glad you got a LEO who respects CHL's. :thumbs2:
