...and even now, I don't carry with a chambered round. I'm not sure I'd ever be comfortable making a split-second decision to draw/shoot, so my pistol will really only help me in a situation that escalates somewhat gradually...although your enounter yesterday (had it turned worse) would qualify as such.
