Pointing a gun at someone is assault.


Wrong. It depends on the circumstance. It may be
self-defense, it may be assault. Same as actually firing it. Same as
hitting someone.

Don't do it. Intend to fire when you draw.


Wrong. **Be prepared** to fire it, yes. Never draw it UNLESS
you're prepared to fire it. BUT - that does not mean you 'intend to
fire it'. In fact, until the instant you HAVE to pull the trigger,
your hope should be to NOT fire it.

Practice drawing aiming and firing as a single exercise.


That is one technique to practice, among many.

The concealment of a concealed weapon is part of the weapon.


No, it is not. It is facilitation of having it present and
available.

Once you draw a weapon and do not fire it, the bad guy knows you
hesitated, and it weakens your position.


Bull****. What he knows is it's in your hand and ready to
kill him. Your hand has a gun in it - a moment ago it was empty. He
knows the balance of power has changed, and if you and he are both
lucky, he will adjust his behavior accordingly. If not - you will
shoot him.
