So basically....report any shooting/death. Obviously I would do that anyway.

But I do NOT need to report a mere defensive play that leaves nobody injured. Thank you! I'd still probably do it like I said if there were witnesses but I've read a lot of first-hand accounts and surprisingly very few self defenses with handguns results in anyone being injured! In most cases the perp simply runs away. And people rarely report it to the police....

I assume you must (and it'd be really dumb not to anyway) report any justified shooting/wounding/killing of a perpetrator.

But what if you merely present the weapon? As in, draw, get into stance, and point. BG drops weapon, turns and runs, you don't have to shoot. Are you legally bound to report this incident? It'd probably be smart especially if there are witnesses ("man with a gun" call is inevitable in that case) and BGs often call cops themselves!!! Good to be first to call. Anyway, what are you LEGALLY REQUIRED to do in a case of presentment only?

Finally what if you merely make a grabbing gesture towards your sidearm, not even drawing? BG flees. What are requirements for reporting that?

TYIA!
