Hypothetical Question for the LEOs

Howdy all,

Not a LEO here, just a run if the mill average citizen but I have a question for the LEOs in attendance.

Suppose a person hears someone breaking into their car in the middle of the night. Said person grabs a backpack with a handgun in it and runs out to confront the crook.

With his hand on the gun but still in the bag, he gets the crook to stop their actions and calls the police.

If the owner of the vehicle or the crook were to mention that the vehicle owner said or threatened that they had a firearm, what if any, repercussions could the vehicle owner face? In this hypothetical, the vehicle owner remains on their property, if that matters. Would things be different if the vehicle owner had brandished the weapon or left their property, even just to the sidewalk or street?

Thanks in advance for your response and if this is not the appropriate place please feel free to.move the post.
