That there was brandishing. And believe it or not the old guy could possibly end up in the slammer for that. He had his hand on the gun, different if he just got out and fat boy saw the gun. Besides, fat boy did not have a club or a weapon so there is an un-equal escalation of force, bad again. So two strikes for the old man, legally.
Now getting the fat POS to leave me the fuck alone, he gets a 100% job well done.
But what caused this altercation in the first place? One has to wonder.
Penal Code 417 PC makes it a crime to brandish a firearm or deadly weapon. Brandishing means to draw or exhibit the weapon, or to use it in a fight.
Putting your hand on a weapon is not (necessarily) brandishing. And as the old man is clearly not the physical equal of the idiot starting a fight in the middle of the road, the old man is more than justified in putting his hand on his weapon. Of course, everything depends on the jury, it's clearly possible to convict a cop who has a drug addict die of an overdose in his custody of murder two...
It isn't brandishing if you are being threatened... and the old guy is clearly being threatened. The lesson here is called a life lesson - don't screw with old guys because, in the immortal words of Robert Earl Keen, "they'd just as soon blow you away".

I had a hot head friend that told a story of a traffic altercation where he got out of his car to kick the other guy's ass. Runs up to the car to find an equally hot headed GIANT man getting out of his car. My friend ended up holding the door closed so the guy couldn't get out of the car.
Always carry proper tools in case of road emergencies.
