[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 3174975, member: 9374"] I know a guy who did exactly this... the guy driving the car tried to hit him twice, then turned to come do it again - as he drove by, he blasted him in the head with a .45. After 3 attempts to run him down, he elected not to allow him a 4th attempt. He did not have ease of escape at the time due to the circumstances in a parking lot, and a Texas D.A. agreed and called it a good shoot. The perp's family disagreed and filed a civil suit, which was not tossed (as it should have been), but was decided in my acquaintance's favor. Sometimes you're backed into a corner, sometimes you have the ability to bring a situation under better control, and sometimes you should just avoid it. As noted above, it is not black and white. One might draw their pistol without presenting it, to have it closer to hand in a scary and uncertain situation, one might present it in an attempt to control the situation, or one might simply draw and fire without warning, if that were what the situation called for - this is in my opinion, of course, and IANAL. Not saying what I would do in any of the above, as I really don't know - it all depends on the situation. I can assure you, if my wife and/or child were with me, or other members of the public, my level of caution/action might very well be different than if it were myself alone. [/QUOTE]
