in all fairness, thats not whats being discussed here, glenn.
look back to the first post in this thread, its about drawing down on a "possible threat". this means, as far as i'm concerned, a person who appears menacing but has no visible weapon displayed. he might be yelling and gesturing vehemently, and may be saying he's going to kill me, and do unnatural things to me.
but simply being rude or arrogant or enraged is not enough for me to draw my weapon from its holster.
i've been in a situation just like this before. i'm positive the intention of the person who approached me was to mug me. and my hand was gripping my gun, still in its holster, because for the duration of his contact with me, i could see no weapon on him.
it didnt matter that my spidey-sense was going bonkers, this guy was making me streak my underoos, i was nervous and suspicious of his behavior, but not in fear for my life.
don't get me wrong. if someone approaches me with a weapon in hand, i'll draw down. but thats not what the original poster of this thread had in mind.
