#4. If you do pull the trigger.....make it a one sided story in the end.
All advice from a relative having been from patroleman to Judge.
All in all ..some very interesting stories...

I don't agree with any of your advice.
1. I will draw a gun if I think that I need to. If I fire it or not depends on what happens next. For instance if showing the gun does not work I may retreat further.
2. I would point an unloaded gun if I thought it would help. This again seems like a judgement call and my judgement has been very good so far.
3. Of course I don't want everyone to see my gun outline but its a way of showing it without showing it. For instance if threatened I might suggest that the perp. back off and leave me alone. If he persists I might say that I have a gun and hold it in my pocket where some of it can be seen. Again your frozen advice does not allow for good judgement.
4. That enough commentary.. I am bored with this.
