draw your weapon
take two or three steps AWAY from the attacker(so that in court, you cannot be made to out to be the aggressor)
order the assailant to stand down
If the assailant does anything (run at you, point the weapon at you or others)
SHOOT.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't stepping backwards a bad idea? wouldn't it be a better idea to simply say
"stop, please don't do that." Then fire a warning shot between the eyes.
