Comment: AlwaysThere, In the last several years I have had legal counsel from several different attorneys, concerning this definition.   They have told me to stay away from IMPACT words such as I AM OR WILL  KILL YOU, I WILL SHOOT YOU.   Also, do NOT show your gun and point it at them UNLESS they have a weapon of basically EQUAL FORCE, ex., (knife or gun, ax etc.),  As I mentioned in an above post, you CAN say things like I do ex., DO NOT COME ANY CLOSER, I HAVE MY FINGER ON THE TRIGGER, or, I HAVE A GUN, or I am CONCEALING a WEAPON.       I want to be EXTREMELY clear on this.  If you make  statements  like these,  YOU have to be ready to REACT and SHOOT.  The person you are facing NOW knows YOU have a gun, and THEY  could pull out a gun as well.  If they draw on you, you have a MILI- Second to react and shoot before they do.  This is why it is very important to practice with your gun, be accurate, be comfortable with it.    YOU want to go home to your loving family and children.
