Default Don't use your gun to threaten

I've said it many times and I'll continue; don't use your gun as a threat.

The only time your gun should come out of the holster, except the range and for maintenance or storage at home, is when your life is in danger.

I'm not going to post the video here because it doesn't meet the language standards on this site, but here's a screen shot of a terrible situation:


The man in the truck is feeling threatened by the crowd and he presents his gun in an apparent attempt to get them to leave him alone. The guy in the helmet has responded with a gun of his own. Neither intends to shoot, but both are now in violation of law.

The eternal question: What do you do when they don't follow your demands?

The only answer is to shoot, but it wouldn't be justified. Why? Because your life isn't in danger. If it were, you would have shot right away. Situations like this can only end badly.
