The kid was in your home invited by your contractor whom you gave access and control of your home , You would not have been justified!! A little late for you to act like you do't understand now. Jezz man. you pointed a firearm at someone whom had been given legal access to your home! Because you were either ill informed about who was in your home ( which is your own fault) or reckless cause you think it is too much of an inconveniece to know who has access to your home. And apparently this is a normal occurrence and is acceptable behavior to you. So yea WTF, That's not a pencil you are pointing its a firearm the sends a projectile somewhere between 800 and 1300 fps that will kill a man dead. But it's no big deal right, just sh-t happens.
Man, you missed the point of my last post to you. It was meant to be an exaggeration of what you said, because that's what you did to my statement.
"I guess I could ask "what are you doing here, can I get you a drink?"." Sound familiar? That's just the most obvious thing. I never said anything about giving someone the benefit of the doubt. I have always made it clear I would gain control of the situation, but that does not necessarily include killing someone. It especially does not include killing them for no other reason than they are in my house.
Though I don't think you have done this, some the posts in this thread are an example of seriously cloudy thinking. The same people that have promoted the idea of killing anyone they find in their home uninvited are also condemning me for drawing my weapon (but not killing them) in the exact same circumstance. If hypocrisy was bull****, I'd be able to fertilize a large farm with what has been posted here.
You don't seem to understand the difference between drawing your weapon and actually using it. Maybe that's the issue here. The velocity of the bullet and how deadly it is is not an issue if it doesn't get fired. Don't forget that by your standard you would have actually killed him... because of a miscommunication. But I forget that your home is so perfectly organized and controlled that you can bet someone else's life on perfection of communication. Yeah, right.
someone get me more butter...Bear 44 my intent has not been to attack you personally. I just am of the thought if you are justified in pointing a firearm at someone then you are justified at pulling the trigger. That doesn't mean you have to shoot. I believe if the threat hasn't reach a level that justifies shooting it doesn't justify pointing either. What's morally correct and what is legally Justified is not always the same
You guys need to study the definition of "Reasonable Cause". It justifies me drawing a weapon on a stranger in my home for just being there. It does not justify killing him.
This is just ridiculous. You guys are saying "Kill him!", but when I say, "I just covered him with my weapon.", you're all over it talking about how I broke the law and am being reckless. How can I argue with that logic?

All I can say is that you're wrong. There is a huge step, both morally and legally, between drawing a weapon and killing someone.
