Is it legal?

She has her hand in her pocket insinuating she has a gun. Is it legal for me to pull my CC Colt .45 Combat Commander and blast her even though I hadn't seen a weapon? What if she says,"I have a gun" or "I have a bomb?

People today are just throwing a bag with a note saying this is a bank robbery and the bank fills the bag. You can be a very successful bank robber today and not even have a gun. I've seen convicts that robbed 12-20 banks of hundreds of thousand of dollars with no gun.

I suppose I'm supposed to holler, "Put your hands up and get on the ground" before I shoot, but what if they do have a gun in their pocket? Can I be in fear of my life just because I can't see both of their hands?

I come down on the side of YES! A cop gets pretty upset if a suspect has their hands in a pocket or down their pants or even in their underwear.
