Brandishing a clearly unarmed person might be okay, especially if you aren't sure of whats behind the subject. But if the guy has a gun, it seems draw and shoot is the safest bet.

I liked the way the used to have it, where every news clip had Granny blasting Cletus with a 12 gauge. I don't know if they are being PC or what. Its annoying. Even if she didn't go the competitive route, a few sessions at a range would be a minimum before she shoud be carrying it.
