“Always fire twice if you draw your weapon from a concealed holster. In the real world if the threat is there to make you draw then that threat must be sufficient to also make you fire.”

I respectfully disagree. Most of the time, from “victim” surveys, the mere presence of the firearm is enough to defuse the situation. If you wait so long that you must fire immediately upon drawing your firearm, you have probably waited too long. Police *do not* always fire when they draw their weapon.

YOU are not a cop in uniform. Their game rules are totally different than yours and mine. They are not defending their family when they draw their weapon. Their goal is to arrest someone, not stop a deadly threat. If you pull your weapon out and don’t fire it, in most cases that’s likely to be considered brandishng.

I had two guys that I was 90% sure were seconds away from pulling a weapon or just jumping me and at a minimum beating the fluids out of me. I pulled my weapon, and told them to leave. They did.

Now had I not pulled my weapon, I'm not sure I'd be here. If I had shot one or both of them and they had not had a gun, I would be in prison right now.
