Hollywood versus Reality: Running with a handgun?

[275RLTW]

If I "knew" that there was the potential of a gun fight and I had to run, no way I would leave a pistol holstered. Why give away even a second when your life is on the line.

From a CCW standpoint, why would the gun be out unless there is a clear need for it? Either it's needed and being used, or you keep it holstered. The situation either meets the criteria for use of deadly force or it doesn't. Last time I checked, menacing with a weapon is still a felony.

You should look up the definition of menacing.
