You maintain positive possession of the firearm and remove yourself from the situation. Anyone who continues to advance on someone with a weapon is looking for a violent encounter and is to be presumed a deadly threat.
Reholster slowly, preferably out of your waistband when the threat is gone.
Interesting assumption, and one counter to my experience. Also assumes you can leave. Also ignores you may have someone in your group injured.
At what point do you get to shoot someone for walking toward you angrily? When can you convince an investigative entity and/or jury that they presented a deadly threat by walking toward you?
Lots of assumptions about what encounters look like, but like I said, make your own decisions. Just understand they have real consequences when it's in meat space and not a pretend scenario in your head to discuss online. I'm damn glad I have equipment that lets me safely and rapidly reholster and, therefore, have the option to do so.
