U.S. Concealed Carry Association
USA –-(Ammoland.com)- If you draw your gun in defense of your life, but you don’t have to fire… you should still call the police.
Whether your attacker has retreated or surrendered you should still call the police as soon as you can safely do so. This is important.

The 911 system is weighed down already with the calls they have. Why on earth would you suggest burdening cops with a call to say nothing happened? Police would call that a nuisance. The nuisance calls are one reason that cops don’t respond to real emergencies – re “Dial 911 and Die.”
What happens when the perp goes to the cops and says you pulled a gun on him for no reason???who,s in trouble then?? get it right and call 911 ,and have the sisutation recorded.otherwise you may be in trouble and at the least have your gun confiscated for who knows how long. a word to the wise
The outcome always depends upon the evidence. If the situs was a pasture in west Texas with no other person in forty square miles, with no witnesses, no cameras, no recording devices, then it is a swearing match. If the incident occurs in down town Paris, you better have prepped the jury because the more evidence there is the more righteously you better have acted.
I don’t know where those comments came from, but after talking with my Attorney on that Exact question the answer was an unequivocal YES! You always want to the the complainant and NOT the respondent. If you are stupid enough to still have the firearm in your hand when the LEO arrives, well, figure that out for yourself.
As has been reported numerous times calling the cops can result in you getting shot, tasted or arrested.
I doubt that displaying a firearm without discharging it would be reported anyway.
Was the article really necessary? This looks more like a advertisement for USCCA that a actual beneficial and informative article.
