I have a friend who was in a situation where he really would have liked to have been carrying.
Long story short, he made a guy mad (without breaking any laws, or even social norms, for that matter) and the guy started walking towards him quickly and aggressively while yelling "HEY! YOU NOSY F***!" (My friend had just saved an honest guy from being scammed out of some money by this other guy who had tried to scam me a couple weeks before, while my friend was present.) This guy was a lot bigger than my friend and was clearly aggressive, although we never found out if he would have become violent because my friend got in his car and drove away very quickly, before the guy could reach him.
If my friend would have been carrying, at what point could he have reached towards his gun and put his hand on the grip, without drawing? I know that cops can lay their hand on the grip whenever they feel threatened at all, but can we do the same without an immediate fear of death/injury?
