[QUOTE="av8r115, post: 1792574"] In principle, I agree. What I'm trying to say is that someone should not have the mindset that the threat will go away just because the BG knows you have a gun. It very well might, but don't ASSUME that just because he knows you have a gun he'll go away. Your attitude towards the BG, eye contact, etc all go a long way towards letting the BG know that you are prepared to defend yourself. I think "imminent threat" encompasses the whole encounter and you should escalate as appropriate to defend yourself. Maybe all you have to do is reach for your gun for the BG to split. But again, I think a person should not reach for their gun unless they are fully prepared to pull the trigger. [/QUOTE]
