I see two common schools of though, which I believe are the ones you are getting at:
1. Draw when intending to shoot, expecting to shoot immediately.
2. Draw when willing to shoot, expecting to have to shoot imminently.
I'm an advocate of the second school, believing it to be reasonable, prudent, and defensible.
