Good response here and thx. Remember tho .. if you read my opening post. ''Partly 'tongue in cheek' '' ..... so I do not place great emphasis on this .... mainly seeing what others think.
Let's just say that ... despite the many comments saying words to effect of .... ''blowing holes in BG's'' .. OK, if things have gotten bad enough then only way to go perhaps.
I do think tho there can (must) be situations where in all seriousness ..... ''intimidation'' might just save the day .. depends on BG of course and how much or little time you have. But let's remember that from choice .... no shots fired has to be better option .... far fewer legal ramifications. Plus, even ''brandishing'' ain't gonna be much prob if a threat already there and obvious.
As always .. circumstances alter events ... but let's think of the ''behind door'' situation ..... if you can't I/D the individual ... then surely the last thing you wanna do is just blast a big hole thru door and them?! The sound of a weapon can or might just provide an ''assertiveness'' factor to make someone realize all is not what they may have thought! Could be wise of course to make that intimidatory sound whilst sidestepping away from door - in case ''other party'' about to ventilate door .... from their side!!
As 7.62 said too ... and re the CT grips deal we discussed ... there is even a place for visual in that respect. In the end tho who knows .... until it all goes down. I know I'd rather succeed thru ''intimidation'' if t'were possible, than have had to ventilate a BG, perhaps in circumstances that could be later seen as ''iffy''.
