If someone is pointing a gun on you, would you still try to draw your gun?

No. Not while they are looking directly at me anyway. That’s a good way to end up shot or possible dead. You wait your turn. Anyone carrying a concealed firearm should have at least a 1.5 second draw to the first shot time. So, the idea is to wait until the chance presents itself and then go to work. That is called “waiting your turn”. 

For example, if someone is pointing a gun at you and they turn their head to look at something else and their ear is towards you, that means it is now your turn. With a 1.5 second draw to the first shot time, if his ear is towards you, you can literally put a couple bullets in the guy before he has time for his mind to register what is going on and react. 

A 1.5 second draw to the first shot is not that hard to accomplish. Anyone who is a concealed carrier should be able to achieve a 1.5 second draw to first shot. If the perp turns the back of his head towards you, it gets even better for you because now all you need is about a 2.5 second draw to the first shot time which is easy to accomplish with practice.

However, if the perp is looking directly at you… it’s practically a no-win situation for you so it’s almost always better to wait your turn.
