My personal opinion on this is that getting your gun ready to use but still keeping it out of site in a pocket,under a jacket or in a shopping bag etc. would be a wise thing to do but yelling commands at this person that obviously appeared to be unstable would only escalate the situation.

Good thread, and Weeg, that's funny!
The basic point here is that what constitutes 'mortal fear or fear of grave bodilly injury' is a relative thing, as is what is a 'prudent person' in a given set of circumstances, e.g. a 245 lb linebacker in the prime of life vs. a 56 y.o. woman who has had a couple of brain surgeries with residual nerve damage and associated physical limitataions. In the scenario cited, I'da had my gun in my hand, dsicretely as possible (in a pocket, behind my thigh, in my coat . . .), but ready to go. As noted, a mentally unstable person is completely unpredictable, you simply don't know his intentions, capabilites, major maladjustment, etc., so while I'd sure try to stay off his radar and not do anything to agitate him, if things got wonky, I'd shoot sooner than later, for all the right reasons.
