Re: Do you practice a phrase to yell if you draw on a BG?

One CHL trainer I've read about practices saying, "Go away. I have nothing you want!" prior to drawing his weapon, but placing his gun-hand on the hip (weapon) to prepare to draw, if necessary, and holding out his non-gun hand out in a "stop" posture. This could be interpreted a few ways, including the lead I may be sending your way if you threaten me. While many here may feel saying anything before drawing a weapon is bad practice, keep a few things in mind. 1) It may alert bystanders to a threat instead of just hearing a "bang" and seeing you standing over a body. So, now you have witnesses that can defend you instead of people who just heard a shot. 2) Your verbal and body language may be enough to send the perp running.
While I will definitely defend me and mine, a life, anybody's life, is precious. Anything I can possibly do to minimize the threat I am willing to have as an option.
