I would not even say that there is a fight going on, or make any reference to violence, even obliquely. People (especially non-CHL types) nowadays are so hypersensitive to violence and any reference thereof, and the laws on the books seem to promote this hypersensitivity. Like it or not, we have to observe and abide by these laws, and even tiptoe around them by as much margin as we can muster.

As I see it, a verbal argument takes place in a verbal "battlefield" or context, and requires a verbal solution/conclusion.

Nike defense (start running) & get the OC in hand so you can blast him chemically if he closes on you without producing a weapon of his own. In this scenario, I would not bring the handgun into play unless I see a weapon in his hand.
