I am going to play devil's advocate for a minute. " If I draw and the assailant immediately disarms themselves", Is this disarming happening as you are drawing your weapon (a slow draw I am guessing) or are you pulling your weapon, getting a bead and not immediately shooting, hoping the sight of the drawn firearm is enough to stop the threat? or......
What I am getting at is this, If I have deemed it necessary to use my firearm, then it is time to use my firearm. I am not going to be pulling it, with enough time left to have a conversation.
Not trying to pick a fight just curious. We have had this debate before I am on the side of not ever, ever, holding someone at gun point. I am not trained in negotiating. My weapon is an absolute last option, and ugly option, that when it is time to exercise should be done as quick as possible and again as a last and final resort.
Now if while I am drawing they decide to disarm and give up before the barrel is ever aimed at them (which would mean I have a very slow draw) then I am not sure what to do, because I do not feel comfortable with holding someone at gunpoint.
