Or you're planning on committing to taking someone else's.

Same for any weapon. Sure, I play with my knife, but I'd never pull it out in anger unless I was planning on using it. You pull a deadly weapon of any sort, and there is no second chance. You've escalated, and anyone else is justified in meeting that escalation of force. You pull a gun and aim it (or a knife, for that matter), and the other guy is justified in capping your dumb ass in self-defense.
