...but the BG thinks otherwise and leaves you alone, should you still report it, even though no shots were fired? It would seem to me that this is sort of a "no harm, no foul," in that since nothing really happened, it would be more trouble than it's worth to report it. Is there a worry of the BG reporting YOU for brandishing and then making up some BS story?? Does it depend on if there are witnesses?
Thoughts???
I've seen several cases where the first person to call was assumed to be the Good Guy and the latter was the BG by default. Caused lady I know to go to prison for a while.
On the badge idea, I go with the DON'T side as in many states it is specifically not legal AND you become liable for damages if anyone is hurt due to them assuming you were someone in authority. Just because you see them in CCW mag is no reason to buy them.

Because if, at the sight of your gun, the perp runs away shooting him in the back would be seen "unfavorably" by the courts. :hang3: :sarcastic:If you are in fear for your life and pull your gun why would you not shoot? This isn't show and tell. All you did was educate the perp and next time he'll know how to approach you or somebody else.
According to Gary Kleck, Ph.D.; based on a National Self Defense Survey conducted by Florida State University criminologists in 1994, the rate of Defensive Gun Uses can be projected nationwide to approximately 2.5 million per year -- one Defensive Gun Use every 13 seconds.If you are in fear for your life and pull your gun why would you not shoot?
