This is a copy/paste from another thread, but I think it is important enough to discuss.
Would you notify the police if you had to draw (but not shoot) in a defensive situation? Say you are at an ATM and someone comes up with a knife and shows it, you draw and they run scared. Any situation like that.
I can see arguments for both sides: YES!: You want to be the person that they talk to first and not the attacker saying "some guy just pulled a gun on me!" and NO!: We live in NY and pulling a gun in ANY situation may be "the big evil thing to do" and you might get your permit yanked.
I have often wondered that. RochPersDef, any input? Any LEOs/similar situations with input?
