Delete comment from: The War on Guns
GuardDog says: "'If you are justified in drawing, you are justified in shooting'...God I hate it when people say that."
Or as I heard it: "If you draw your gun, someone has to die."
I heard it from the lawyer teaching the use of deadly force portion of my CCW class. At least in Oklahoma, if you draw your gun and were not confronted with deadly force yourself, then it is 'brandishing' and can get you arrested.
See the story from a few weeks ago about the guy on the dark street who got nervous about the two guys following him. He put a blade in his hand and turned around to ask them what they wanted. The two undercover cops arrested him for threatening them with the blade.
