I was watching COPS last night and I saw an interesting potentialy dangerous scenario. (Sorry if some of you have seen the episode)
Scenario:
Young man was taking trash to the dumpster in his apartment complex. He is approached by another young man who says "Hey, you wanna party?". In reply the first man says "No, I have kids at home, I'm just going to go inside". Then the approacher states that he should come party with him, and that he has been drinking and doing drugs all day. The approacher then goes on to ask "Hey, wanna see my gun?" He then pulls out a SA XD from a shoulder holster and starts waiving it around. He then starts talking about several banks he supposedly robbed the previous week.
Ok, so this guy is obviously drunk, and high and is now waiving around a gun and has admited to commiting violent crimes recently in the past. You have your CCW and you have a decision to make. He hasn't threatened you but DEFINATELY poses a threat to you. If you pull out your CCW you have potentiall esclated a situation to a point that it might not have been. Or, you don't pull out your piece and the subjects demeanor suddenly changes and he shoots/robbs you.
What would you do?
