If he surprised a CHL holder and was advancing and acting in an aggressive manner, I can see where you could make a case to the cops for pulling your weapon. Someone like that who is already acting aggressively could easily decide to pull a knife or something. The "victim" has no way of knowing with any certainty. I would feel threatened in a situation like that. I have my doubts about that particular situation justifying a shoot, but in a similar situation somewhere else, you just don't know. Someone popping out from around a corner at night is not the normal behavior of a panhandler.
