This guy pull out a knife

I am really glad it worked out and you are ok. I think in such a circumstance, it is critical to be the first person to call 911, without delay. There are a myriad of reasons why this is true.
Still, great news that you are well and had a positive interaction with the police.

Any time you must show your gun in self defense, even when that successfully defuses the situation, even if you only exposed it in your holster with hand on it without drawing, and nothing further has happened, call 911 immediately, just as soon as you are in a safe location, to report the incident. Do not wait until you get home, and do not use the local police non-emergency number. You must win the race to report, because both police and prosecutors generally assume the first to report is the victim. There have been cases in which the criminal called 911 to report, A crazy dude just pulled a gun on me! in situations much like yours. With no witnesses and no video to confirm, the actual self-defender gets wrung out in the system.
Part 2: if you do have to draw without aiming to fire, be sure to hold at low ready, clearly pointing down to the ground, not up but pointing off to the side of your potential attacker. The view of both witnesses and cameras from the side cannot tell you are not pointing at the miscreant; it will look like you are aiming at the b@5t@rd.

*Delete everything
*Talk to a lawyer
*Say nothing to anyone except your lawyer
*Remember, it’s not the police who file charges/prosecute, and charges don’t have to come immediately day of
PS: By the book is to talk to your attorney before discussing details with law enforcement
If you are a USCCA member, call them and say nothing other than you were in a self defense incident, except to answer direct questions with only the requested information as the answer

I think u are being a lil bit to dramatic!!! Why i will put my self in a position where they can arrest me, take me to the police station up to my legal representation gets there to do what i did?? I get what u saying but with witnesses and security cameras that will confirm what happen and what i say why i will scales the situation when no one got hurt, no assault happen, no nothing!! I really get what u saying but if i would did that they would take me into custody for investigacion up to i talk to my legal representation and tell him what happen and he will tell the cops what i say like for me that didn’t make sense when i knew that i was in all my legal rights to act the way i did!!

If a person draws their gun, something absolutely happened.
The unanimously recommended best/correct course of action is: Lawyer. Post nothing online, talk to nobody including LE, until speaking to your lawyer.
It’s never too late to go this route.

A 911 call should’ve been made already as the above transpired.

as everyone has stated & Mr Ayoob has stated, make the call. it is a huge mistake not to. why try to defend your position when it’s foolish? it’s a simple thing to cover your ass…really

Idk why it don’t come up the whole story, I say that I call the police and they came to my house to talk to me, verify my story with the security and strew cameras and told me thanks for being a responsible gun owner after they saw that everything I say happens and I was just defending my self after I felt threatened!! I know people out here saying u should do this and that but if u study and learn what u can and can’t do ain’t no point of be paying for insurance when even they can denied the service and make u pay all that back but if u know the laws and do it by the book u won’t need this and like me I can pay a lawyer for any case so idc what any employee say just to make people think I did the wrong thing and the best option is to have this insurance!! I’m not against this because I just to have it but after u keep looking for more info u will see what I’m talking about
I did and idk why this only got what it say there now because I explained everything and say that even the cop told me thanks for being a responsible gun owner after checking the security and streets cameras
Hear you all.
Some of us here in this online community might not have signed up for the insurance program.
I did, but for those who did not - they might not be able to access the same caliber of support; And miss out on some of the various education components. I imagine for them, tips on this forum/pages could also contain some valuable information.
Kudos for anyone having video cameras.

Make no mistake, you could know the laws inside and out and act within them and still be charged with crimes up to and including murder after acting in justified self defense.
Just as folks like George Zimmerman or Kyle Rittenhouse or any surely long list of no-names that didn’t make the news.
No matter how confident you are that you acted 100% legally and justifiably, it is a universally recommended act to consult with an attorney before talking to police following a use of force incident. Even police themselves will follow this after an OIS.
The Right to an attorney before you answer questions/talk is an incredibly powerful and important Right here in the US, and it is place precisely to protect the law abiding

U teach in ct?? So that mean that u are one of them that after the classes try to convince people to join the uscca so u can get commissions out of everyone that sings in 
my boy do ut too!! I got my ct pistol permit, florida, arizona and now im doing my paperwork for mass!! Back to the topic when it say i use force or my gun against someone?? Where it say i had to use my gun to stop a threat?? The only thing that they could say bu me pulling out my gun is brandishing where if u live in ct that only applies when im showing off and someone call the cops that they felt threatened, not because in a parking lot some guy try to act up and i had to pull out my gun after i saw him with a brace knuckles and a knife!! A 6 month on the job cop try to pull up that one and i shut him down quick!!
When in this topic say that use of force was necessary?? Im still lost because i had read that in a few comments but i never say i use my gun on someone or anything!! Im trying to put the original post because idk why it only show up just a line!! But i say this guy in walgreens parking lot on park st in hartford pull out a knuckles brace and a knife so i pull out my gun hold it putting down to the floor nes to my hip and walk away after he put everything down and ask me to fight!! I call the cops after i left and i was in a safe place because the guy and his girl was following me and he say she had a gun!! The cops got to my house and after i talk to them they saw that everything tbat i was saying was the same thing they saw in tbe security cameras and streets cameras!! After they saw that a sargent came to me and was like thanks to be a responsible gun owner, shacks my hand and they left!

I would not post these kinds of details online, anywhere, ever. Unless your attorney okays it first.
And that is a perfect example of a situation in which an attorney should be consulted before talking to police

Thats what happens when someone talk without knowing the law!! He was a convicted felon in possession of abrace knuckles and a inlegal knife and he got arrested plus more things that i will post when yall keep talking with knowing lol u knew that brace knuckles are inlegal to carry in ct?? U knew that a 10 inch knife is inlegal to carry for self defense?? 
now i know why u are saying to get a lawyer because yall depends on someone else instead of learning yall laws!!! What if i say that my father is a lawyer and he was with me the whole time 
i can say a lot but im just bored and let people talk just to entertain my self a lil bit!!! Yall think thats all that it happened?? I didn’t say the part of my wife when they ask her for her permit and i was going back a forward with the rockie cop!!
