What you feel is beside the point. What is important is understanding clearly the laws related to the use of force in self defense. Things can change quickly.
It might well be that in a particular situation you would be justified drawing your gun; it could even be wise to draw your gun. But if before you fire things change, you might not be legally justified in shooting.
It appears that some study of the laws relating to the use of force in self defense would be in order. Have a look
