[QUOTE="RedTape, post: 1069045, member: 66"] I think a lot of this would depend on the person's attitude and body language. Assuming you can't get to your vehicle or retreat any other way (and that the subject hasn't drawn his knife) having your hand on your gun and giving a verbal warning seems appropriate. If he continues to approach or reach for the knife, the time for talking is over. If you are ready to draw your gun, I don't think verbally warning him would put you at a tactical disadvantage, and it might make him stop. If there's a chance it could stop a fight/shooting, without putting you at risk, it's worth trying IMO. [/QUOTE]
