I doubt it would take me more than two seconds to pull a pistol if that was my intention

Lots of scumbags don't carry in nice holsters, pager pals, "Thunderwear" or the like. They carry in their pockets, and the gun may well hang up if one attempts to draw it under pressure.

"I doubt it would take me more than two seconds to pull a pistol if that was my intention."

Lots of scumbags don't carry in nice holsters, pager pals, "Thunderwear" or the like. They carry in their pockets, and the gun may well hang up if one attempts to draw it under pressure.

Not to mention that the "scumbag" may have been drunk, high, brain-damaged from overuse of substances used to cause one or both of the two previously mentioned conditions, or all three. Anybody ever watch "Cops?" These guys aren't hitting on all eight cylinders.
