While I was driving through East Bremerton I noticed there was a Man (30ish), near a gas station, yelling at another guy (20ish) about his Anti-Abortion sign. I was driving slow because of traffic and had plenty of time to pull into the gas station. My plan was to mind my own business, but to leave the window down and listen just in case I had to break up a fight. This guy would just not stop yelling about the sign, kept saying that it was way too graphic (had pics of dead babies). After about 5 mins the guy got back into his truck and left, and I went on my way as well.
When to draw in a situation where someone is waving a gun around and threatening to shoot is not a hard one to answer. But what about in a case like this? Iwas sitting in my car thinking about the tools at hand which were a .38 airweight (concealed VERY well,and a Kershaw. I thought about throwing my gun under the seat of my car because I figured if I had to break up a fight, I might get punched once but would ultimately break up the fight. I didn't for obvious reasons. I just thought that if I felt a life was in danger I would draw. Thankfully, nothing happened.
Whenwould you draw?When you feel a life is in danger, no doubt. But when should you feel that way? Whensomeone has a gun? When they have a knife? When they are beating someone and there is nothingmore can do about it? When they come after you?
I always assumed a SD situation would be straight forward, that there would be no question when to draw. When the adrenaline is pumping I could see where it would be easy to make a mistake. Tell me your thoughts so I can be prepared.
