The Where to Draw Your Gun article at GunNuts.net goes into further details, but here are the highlights.
- Am I serious danger? If no, proceed as normal. If yes, proceed to question 2
- Can I retreat or flee without exposing myself to additional danger? If yes, run away like a little girl. If no, proceed to question 3
- Is the danger I’m in a credible threat of death or grievous bodily harm? If no, examine what force options are available other than lethal force. This can include pepper spray, contact weapons, hands-on fighting, or de-escalating the situation. If yes, proceed to step 4.
- Am I prepared to shoot this person right now? If your answer is no, you shouldn’t be carrying a gun.
