This is pretty poor teaching. There are provisions in the law to show your weapon as a deterrent (forgive me if I am wording it wrong). There are also reasons to draw your weapon and keep it at low ready. I am disabled. I was getting fuel and this car with a punk blocked me in and he began cursing at me and threatening me with harm. When he started to get out of his vehicle, I drew my weapon and kept it at low ready until he got back into his vehicle and left. If he had attacked me, there is no way anyone could have drawn and fired. The only way to protect myself would to have my weapon already upholstered, which I did, I did not point it at him. When the police arrived I informed them of what took place. They had no problems with my actions. You need to rethink your teaching.
