While I understand your concern, you might want to be careful with that action. In some states that is brandishing = threatening serious bodily harm or death.
You know, I once was in a Carl's Jr. and there were 3 thug types ahead of me. They were ordering their food, but also giving the clerk a hell of a time. I just waited my turn in line until one of them noticed my firearm and asked me "what are you going to do with that" while bringing it to the attention of the other two thugs. They were up to no good, were already harassing the cashier and yelling "***** this and ***** that" I simply looked at him while I placed my hand on my firearm (still holstered) and this was enough to end his curiosity. There are just no having a civil conversation with some people. You can usually make a call on what needs to be done in a certain situation. Now, if it would have been one guy or a group of guys who were behaving correctly then I would have had a conversation instead.
As far as Jeannette's situation, I think she acted exactly as she should have. She never drew her firearm and didn't do anything illegal. What if she wouldn't have been armed and this creep would have took her by force? She could have been another statistic dead in a ditch. I would expect my wife to act in the same exact fashion.
Walk up to a cop and start talking smack and see where his/her hand goes with a quickness. I don't blame them one bit.
