You are right. Had the man been in real danger and been justified at using his gun he failed. Not only could he not draw successfully from the pocket his gun jammed and he couldn’t get it cleared and when he did it went off. Very fortunate he didn’t kill someone.

Mesquite Man Arrested After Pulling Gun

There is so much to learn from this video. One of those is maybe “pocket carry” is not the best. Probably the most important was neither one of these guys should have pulled over and got out of their vehicles. I know how “ego” is a problem, but maybe everyone should learn how to count to to 10 and deescalate.
