I think most would agree that if a situation occurred where you had to draw but not fire - it would be wise to call that in - pronto, and explain circumstances etc.
However, a what if? - you are out front in yard - open carrying (as I do) - and someone walks by who maybe is anti-gun, and/or just feeling in a really bad mood that day. They decide to try and cause trouble and call in that they were threatened by your gun, implying you had brandished.
What the heck could you do? One guy's word against another! No way to prove either way but I have the feeling that it would not be easy to sort out. Perjury for some folks is a way of life!
Lee - what would be your take for instance - and any other LE folks here. I forget who y'all are :smile:
