The FL CCW class actually recomends you do this. Those words were specifically NOT recomended as they say you are scared. It was suggested you state "STOP, I have a gun." Just FYI as to what is said in class.

And yelling it from the confines of your home make it difficult to figure out where you're yelling from. In an apartment, you could be yelling it from behind the relative hard cover of a refrigerator.

On the street, I was told to yell, "Please, back off" as loud as possible. The emphasis was on the word "Please" because in a stressful situation, it could be interpreted by others as "Police". Any little edge helps.

But you are ready to defend yourself with that gun.

Just yelling I have a gun when you are either not armed with a gun or not willing to pull the trigger, is going to get you killed.
