I'm inclined to agree with Yeager on this one... (he usually has good points even if you don't like his delivery)
My number one goal will be neutralizing the threat whether that be by making the threat go code brown on their britches and running away (preferred method) or by exercising my right to defend my home and my family with deadly force. I'm not going to prolong exposure to the situation. Not to mention...what if your aggressor has a friend? While you're busy with one you've dropped your situational awareness and have opened yourself up for another mook to surprise you.
It's not worth the risk. Let them go if they are no longer a threat to your life and don't try to talk them down if they are.
