You really have no idea the amount of time it takes either raise or point a gun held at the ready do you? Pray you never have to find out because it is an insane small sub-second.

Carried a side arm with the military, department of the army, and the DOD for many years. I was a much better shot with an M16 as I qualified expert for years. But I could get by with a handgun.
According to Dennis Tuller, a former SWAT officer, in drilling it take the average person with the right equipment around 1.84 seconds to draw and fire.
But let’s re-evaluate the situation. He got out of a car and never holstered it. We don’t know if the gun was loaded and charged. And he actually tapped it on the car door. So if his intent was to shoot the driver, and he had the opportunity as a small amount of talk did happen, then why didn’t he? He had plenty of time, but didn’t. So why wouldn’t there be a question as to whether he was using deadly force or not?
