Although many people don't believe this, armed folks are really the most polite in the world.
@WT: it's tempting, however, when one is armed!

Some times brandishing can get you killed. Even it it is not a real gun. Even if you are a child. As CCL holder one of the things I was taught is to avoid confrontations if there is any way possible. It's not the time to "stand your ground," its the time to be a wimp. If you are going to draw your weapon it should only be when you are convinced that you may need to use it.
