I will make a long story short: a few years ago some yahoo tapped my rear bumper trying to get around me in heavy traffic...

I throw my hand up in the air while inside my vehicle...basically saying WTF are doing....

The guy jumps out of his car strides up to my side window asking me to roll it down...he was visually very upset and itching for trouble...

All I did was point to my glove box made a gun sign with my fingers...

Dude walked away in a flash...

Being a CCW holder in Florida I know showing my weapon was a big no-no...

Fortunately he didn't think I was buffing...I wasn't, but if he did think I was...I could see a real problem developing

Some years ago I had to stop at a rest stop late at night. There were a couple of young punks just hanging around up to no good. They were behind me when I was at the sink. I looked at them in the mirror and unzipped my jacket and reached in. I then snapped my fingers against my chest to make it look and sound like I was unsnapping a thumb break holster. They left.

I had to draw once in a carjacking situation.
He backed off.
Still I think if you draw you should intend to shoot.

It not a game of chicken.

Brandishing is frowned upon by the law in Tx.

And in Tx if you uncover it is wise for YOU to report the act.
