Never, ever, think that pointing a gun with a less-lethal round in it at a person isn't deadly force.


Yes, there's no room to argue around those points.


+1 A person who takes up arms must seriously commit mentally to use of deadly force and accept the responsibility of the fact that they may end someone's life. Anyone may falter (or commit) in the moment of truth, but if you aren't mentally prepared prior to the fact, you should not take up the responsibility. There is just no half-way to it.
