If you Conceal Carry a Gun what is Your Personal Rules of Engagement?
What are the different levels of escalation that you are going to go through when comforted with a situation where you have to pull out your concealed weapon?
Are you prepared for the consequences of shooting or killing an individual in self-defense?
I'm curious about what you have put in place as your personal ROE

If I have to draw my weapon, I am prepared to use lethal force to end the threat. I will not draw my weapon to threaten someone, it will only come out of its holster if I have perceived a threat to myself or others of dire bodily injury or death.

Also more fun than a barrel of monkeys - civil liability!
If the DA decides it is too much trouble to prosecute you, the victim (if living) and or the family might haul you into civil court. They'll always have a case that might sound reasonable to a jury, you second amendment psycho.

In the event lives are being taken I'll act. I see a few here saying they wouldn't draw their weapon until time to shoot. I will draw and be ready to kill if necessary but God willing I'll be ready.

Capt Walter Miller - Some states have the brandishing law to include even if the firearm is still in the holster, but your actions or more the others perceptions of your actions can be under this same law.

1) De-escalate, De-escalate, De-escalate.
2) "If" #1 is not possible, he who escalates hardest, fastest, is most likely to survive.
3)"If" I have to draw it, be willing to use it.

Sgt Aaron Kennedy, MS
COL Mikel J. Burroughs Every situation is different. Are we dealing with a "calm & collected" type? Are we dealing with someone who appears "nervous" or "anxious?" What kind of distance? What are they demanding? (wallet, keys, watch) Do they look like they know what they are doing? (how are they holding the weapon) What kind of environment am I in?
Please remember I carry as a matter of course, and was a firearms dealer for years. These are things I have thought through a lot. I was lucky enough never to have to draw my weapon in need. I hope that continues. But hope for the best, plan for the worst.

There is no such thing as "personal ROE" when concealed carrying. Your states laws will be your ROE. Anything else will just get you charged with a crime. Even the choice of drawing your weapon is covered. Read your state laws and be sure to understand them BEFORE (God forbid) you are forced to pull your weapon for self defense.

Unfortunately, in NY (ruled by Wall st donkeys) you cannot carry for personal security just hunting, camping, hiking and target shooting. They also do not believe in accidental discharge it's all negligent if it's not the 4 situations above. May Dunford finally get NESARA to be applied since it's an official law on the books...will rid us all of these traitors who've kept our country Incorporated since the Civil War.

While you should absolutely know and follow the laws and regulations where you carry, I would argue that there are situations that I might choose prison time over grave time. Also, State laws only draw a line in the sand, there is still a lot of material left up to the individual, which is where personal ROE comes in.

SFC James J. Palmer IV aka "JP4" I did to, but until we are living in a post apocalyptic time, personal ROE doesn’t exist...
