Many will use that pretense to approach others and size them up, or see if they are cooperative.

Doesn't matter if you are in a car or are on foot. Half the battle for the criminal is to make contact, catch you off-guard, and go about their business.

It takes a lot more than that to justify reaching for a weapon.

You misconstrued my point or comment. I said NOTHING about reaching for a weapon. I simply stated how some low-life's approach others, and use various excuses to put them off-guard, just prior to them committing a crime.

Just for the record. If someone approaches you and implies or threatens you with bodily harm, you can indeed, reach for your weapon.

I was in LE for 30 yrs. I've been around the dangerous blocks a few thousand times.
