OK--first let me clear and state that I've been carrying for a very long time--though I vary according to circumstances.
This is a question that I've always had in mind but have been unsure about--so I pose it to the collective.
Let's say you are carrying and 1 or more aggressive individual perceive that you are armed--and decide that you're an easy mark taking you on and attempting to disarm you and take your weapon. Essentially--within the 6 or 7 ft personal space zone they are a potential but "unproven" threat.
From the legal standpoint--I don't see how you can justify drawing and aiming until you have already been assaulted--in other words it seems like you have to "allow" an escalation to the point of heightened and easily proved threat before drawing.
Whatcha think?
