Had to keep walking. 3 guys came out and wanted money and had knives. Bad move. Dropped my checkbook and pretended to get money in my jacket. Took out Mr Ruger. They decided they were just kidding and didn't want any trouble.

From what I understand from those with full carry permits, you don't ever pull the weapon unless you're going to use it. It's not a threat and it's not for brandishment.
In the stated situation, you'd be in full compliance with the law if you took all three of them out.
Any reason why not?
Note that I don't hold a CCW, so there is no preconceived action that I would have taken.
