If I hadn't pulled my Rem. Rand ( cocked and locked and thumb on the safety ) I believe that my first wife and I would not be here today to tell you about it.
Sometimes pulling out a firearm will keep you from having to shoot someone.

It's all about how you articulate the situation and would a reasonable person believe you had a legitimate fear of death or serious bodily injury if you hadn't. Maybe the "suspect" in this had the same thing but we'll never know because the SO only go the "victim's" side of the story. I think it's stupid that the guy even reported it.
