“...half a second...”
The time that I mentioned from the film and lesson I watched was around 1.8 seconds. Problem is that the only time the gun was ever seen to be near or aimed at the window was when he had the gun knocking on the auto. It went immediately down and we have no idea if he ws holding it finger on trigger because he didn’t knock on the auto that way. And he never raised it again prior to being shot. So the shooter shot someone not knowing if he was going to raise and shoot or not. Since no movement by the outside person was identified after he had lowered the gun to hip level, it creates an assumpltion he is going to use it cause we couldn’t see it. And that’s where the case gets interesting in how the cocurt is goping to prove he was intending to use it. And another possibility is since the person in the auto shot through the window, did he pull his with intent to use it before the outside person arrived? Especially since the outside guy didn’t appear to start the action to use his. So we’re back to assumption and no real proof of either intending to use their weapopns while one actually did. Like I said, an interesting case.

Very interesting. I can tell you, as a man who carries a pistol daily, my gun would have been in my hands with the safety off (1911) as the man approached my truck with a gun in his hands. The difference, I believe I would have thrown down on him before he got anywhere close to my door. He’d be the one having to make a very quick decision.
