Hello, I've been open carrying for over 2 years in Tucson, AZ. I've recently met a beautiful woman who is interested in getting a revolver for OC'ing. Yesterday she brought up a good point that I didn't know how to answer.
Legally speaking, would she be able to use draw/deadly force if someone were to try to grab the gun while shes in line at say a walmart?
I've had situations were people keep inching closer and closer to my hip and it makes me uncomfortable, I'll usually turn the gun away from them and make sure I make eye contact, and also keeping my elbow on the butt of the gun. My holster has retention so they would have to fight a bit for it, but I think in that situation I would probably hit/push them back and draw on them. Not sure if I would be legal in this situation but the idea of letting my pistol go, and putting myself and others in danger outweighs the risk of jail time or loss my carry rights. If the gun were to leave my possession, whos to say that he would run or shoot/rob someone immediately after? Wouldn't he be considered armed and dangerous as soon as he touched my/her gun?
This is what I told her but I said I would research it. I'm having trouble finding any specifics.
Thanks much!
