6 motnhs ago i had to pull my gun on a mentally ill homeless guy that threw rocks at my dogs and then me..
he approached me with a brick in his hand and i drew down on him.. i told him to stop or i would kill him.. he took a couple more steps towards me then stopped and turned around, called me a faggot
, and walked away..
he was one more step away from getting killed. i could have killed him and was within my right. i called the cops and they showed up quickly and arrested the guy a few blocks away. the cops told me that they had several problems with him in the past..
they also told me i would have been within my right to use deadly force..
i am glad i did not have to shoot the guy, but i was prepared to..
so, i dont think you only pull a gun to kill someone.. sometimes pulling a gun and being prepared to use it is enough to diffuse an extreme situation..
