NEVER POINT A GUN.......unless you have the firm intention of neutralizing a threat

If you're touching a gun, you're pointing a gun. So how does OP's statement work when you're pulling a gun out of a holster and it's pointed at your thigh as it is coming up and out of the holster?

Maybe it's a problem with the translation into English. I mean only intentionally point if you are wanting to neutralize the threat.

Is your leg a threat?

Everything you do with the gun should be intentional.

You don't intentionally point a gun at your own leg unless you're crazy. Also, in a standard holster, the gun is not pointed at the leg all the time.

So that there are no doubts in the translation: you only take your hand, remove the weapon from the holster and make a line of sight at a target only if you want to neutralize it.

I end the discussion here.

What if you are moving when you are drawing? Your leg isn't going to end up in front of the muzzle? Most people, with a concealed holster, are going to have the muzzle covering their leg during the draw or reholster, especially if carrying at 3 o'clock.
