Steven6702,

If I understand your post, generally speaking, you're (I think) wanting to know if it's lawful to un-holster and have your gun in hand when confronted by hostility, even when such hostility may not necessarily put you in fear for your or a loved one's life, but have it hand to force an other/others into reconsidering their frightening actions towards you.

In other words, while not in fear for your life, you've used your gun to get them to comply.

If I'm correct in my general scenario description, the answer is no.

You can't simply pull your gun if you're somewhat concerned, annoyed, angry, confused or just plain old uncertain.

Carrying a gun doesn't provide you with a means to persuade others you find in some manner obnoxious.

It's there for you as a last means of resort to protect life that is in immediate danger of being lost...
