Legal issues up the ying-yang.
In most states (check your local gun laws) you are NOT allowed to shoot unless you feel in imminent danger of loss of life or grave bodily injury. You can usually NOT shoot to protect property. That being said, if there's only one side of the story to be told...you can conjure up anything.
Hold him at gun point? Could be kidnapping, false detainment, and a couple other things. Could also be termed "use of deadly force". In SC, pointing a gun (doesn't have to be fired) is considered "use of deadly force". If he runs away from you and your gun, you CAN NOT shoot!
