Yankees? You mean like the baseball team?

I wholeheartedly agree with many of the great posts on this thread. Law can always be interpreted in different ways, as we have seen in the past. Exactly why we cringe when legislators come up with laws, that are ambiguous and vague (i.e. conceal carry while traveling). Based on my interpretation of Texas law in this scenario, the perp. has threatned my life and possibly others with a deadly weapon and I'll be da#$!@ if I'm not going to hold him at gunpoint until two things have occurred. 1) I put enought distance between myself and him. 2) Im positive that he has ended his assault.

I'll take a shot at it (no pun intended )

I would say that you are legally justified in threatening deadly force in this particular scenario on the premise that the BG could very well have another gun or weapon on his person and if given the opportunity, use it on you or another innocent bystander. The threat of deadly force, in my humble opinion, would cease only when the threat ceased (i.e. BG runs away, does not attempt to rush me, etc.)

Great post flintknapper

I'm anxious to hear what the experts have to say on this one.
