After I posted last night I came up with a question this morning.

If you have taken you gun out of it's holster why are you talking and not shooting?

The second that gun come out of the holster you should be aiming and shooting. it.

Why are you pointing a loaded gun at someone you don't intend to shoot?

OK, folks we have done the discussion about whether you must shoot if you draw into the dirt.

Many folks draw the gun and challenge. The draw means that you are in a situation where using legal force is justified. It doesn't mean in a given situation that you have to shoot.

Said many times. Thus, we don't need to go down that trail again.

I also don't see anything more to be said on the pros and cons of cocking the gun. Cogent points were made.

Closed.
