Quote:
#2 Draw when you perceive a threat. I draw, and release the safety upon completion. Use the drawn gun and verbal commands, "Stop or I'll shoot!", to force the perp to back down or to effect your escape. If the threat escalates, do not hesitate to pull the trigger. Don't wait until the last moment to draw, you may not have a last moment at that point.
Scenario:
A perp approaches with a gun in his hand, pointing at the ground. You draw yours and point it at his chest. He stops. "Drop the gun!" over and over. As long as he's not advancing and hasn't raised the gun, there's no need to fire. He's in your sights, if he even twitches that gun hand or continues to advance, you have him cold.

If a perp approaches with a gun in his hand I draw and fire immediately. You are a dead man walking if you think you "have him cold." The only time you truly have a man with a gun "cold" is after he has died from the shock or wound channels your hollowpoints have inflicted or he has bled out on the sidewalk.
