If you start to feel your life may soon become 'in danger' but it hasn't escalated to that point yet. Do you think it would be legal to say something like "I have a permit to carry my handgun and if I feel my life is in danger I will use it" ?
It is illegal to brandish a weapon. So you wouldn't want to go for your gun unless you plan to use it. But what about using a phrase like this to discourage a possible attack? Obviously I'm not suggesting you would say something like this to every person you get into an argument with or anything like that. I am referring to a situation where someone is 'probably' going to attack you unless you discourage them somehow and you have done absolutely nothing to instigate them
