Excerpt from "Thank God I Had A Gun":
"...each year at least a couple of million ordinary citizens use firearms in response to criminal attack or threat. In only a very small percentage of cases is the gun actually fired. And in fewer cases still is anyone wounded or killed. So every year a massive number of people expose their guns, brandish them, or point them and successfully discourage an attack. Most of these defensive uses of guns are not reported to police, so they do not appear in police crime statistics and almost never in the media. But they happen and they happen frequently."
So a companion question to the one asked earlier about how many have had to draw... I would like to know out of those of you who have drawn... how many contacted the police after doing so and what was the result? It sounds like several people have had to draw, brandish, what have you... did you report the incident? How did the LEO take you displaying your weapon without the need to fire?
