If and when you do point the gun it is a last ditch attempt to gain control. Everything else has went south for you until then and things only escalate from there. Sloughfoot makes a good point. If you do have to "Point" it, you are now getting desperate. In this day of drugs and desperation BG is running on a high and will read you, push you and they will have a feeling of if you will or will not use the gun.
Glad you are OK.
