I'm not certain if you mean that you won't draw until you actually have to fire but if that is what you mean, that may be too late.

If you pull a gun, you better be getting ready to use it. And have a good reason for doing so.

How do you know he wasn't? Pulling a gun doesn't mean you have to shoot.

And by the law he did have a good reason to shoot.

Could "Ron" have descalated the situation? Maybe, maybe not. What it came down to though is the aggressor escalated the situation by attempting to commit a violent felony, "Ron" used an appropriate amount of force to prevent unlawful force from being used against him and everybody went home with the same amount of holes that they left with. Maybe things could have gone better but given the circumstances they could have been a lot worse.
