However, why are the fines so low?
Why threaten with huge fines if the State is not going to use them?
The maximum fine for the first offense is $1,500 per day per sign. All subsequent fines are either $10,000 or $10,500 per day per fine.

You can draw your weapon as long as the use of force has been justified. It does not have to be deadly force. I.e. you can draw with the intent to de-escalate a situation. If you shoot, then you need the justification for deadly force.
It is a defense to prosecution under Subsection (a), (a-1), (a-2), or (a-3) that the actor, at the time of the commission of the offense, displayed the handgun under circumstances in which the actor would have been justified in the use of force or deadly force under Chapter 9.
Correct. This changed in 2013 with the passage of SB299 (Sen. Estes) that also changed the offense of not concealing one's handgun (TPC §46.035(a)).
