Ok. Here be the rub. Every State has laws which prohibit pointing weapons at people. It is generally called Brandishing. You just can’t do it. You can use a weapon in self defense. However pointing the weapon to scare someone is illegal.
when the St Louis Couple were in the news. I said the smart thing to do Tactically and Strategically was retreat inside the house and then shoot anyone who entered. Then you can claim you were a feared for your life. Running around outside pointing the weapon at people means you are the criminal. This is not new. It has been this way for a long time.
If you find yourself in a similar situation. Do the smart thing. Or become a martyr to the cause. Your choice.
