Good point about "Freeze" I'd never really thought about it. I was going to go with the "staring down the barrel" and hope they didn't make me pull the trigger

Instructor: "Bad guy is coming at you and demands your money. He pulls a knife out on you. You respond by saying very loudly "Get the $*&% out of here or I'll blow your %*$%)$( head off!" Legal or not legal?"

Us: Legal!

Instructor: Correct!
One thing my instructor stressed was to be LOUD and CLEAR in the demands to the BG. and don't be vulgar. his reasoning was that when the witnesses come forward in your trial for killing the guy it would sound better to have said "FREEZE OR I *WILL* SHOOT!" vs "FREEZE YOU MFer OR I'LL SHOOT YOUR rear!"
he never said there was anything illegal about yelling the latter but just recommended you not use that method.

As for the CHL as ID, I don't use it. I don't want people to know that I carry. If I wanted them to know I carried, I would tell them. Its just less hassle in my mind to use the DL vs the CHL. they both reside in the same space in the wallet.
