I'm a 50-yo male. I pull up to a red light, I'm in front in the right lane; and there's cross traffic. Another car pulls up next to me in the left lane. It's beat up, and packed with young ghetto-looking guys yelling aggressively at me. One's leaning out the rear window w/ both arms out gesturing at me.I didn't see any context for the harassment - my guess is, they're driving around the neighborhood fucking with people.I lock my doors, and awkwardly pull my CCW (Glock 42 still in super fly holster) out of my front pocket and put it in the center console to make it easily accessible. The guys in the car couldn't see exactly what I was doing.I impassively kept an eye on them; I was wearing dark sunglasses; they kept up the shouting and gesturing, but didn't escalate any further. Eventually, the light turned green, and they pulled ahead of me.It was pretty intense. That might be closest I've been to drawing. If they had escalated by opening a car door, or something else, I would probably have drawn the gun, keeping it pointed forward, not at them, but making it plainly visible.A big part of me wishes I had drawn and made the gun visible — to deter them from harassing me, and continuing to harass others. But I'm pretty sure that'd be brandishing, and also strategically just not good.Thoughts? via /r/CCW https://ift.tt/2w8jQ3a
