Wow! Some of you guys are freakin scary! Pull out a shotgun? Wave a .45?
Ask me again why some want to take away firearms?
For somebody yelling and screaming?

yelling and screaming??? is that what you consider for threats of violence of physical harm? Common law was if threatened you had the right to shoot them rather than take a beating or lose your life.
I'm not going to provide a "fair fist, knife, club or other type of fight" and risk death from the idiot threatening to beat me up or kill me. Showing that road rage idiot, that you are armed and giving them cause and reason to back off is sound reasoning!!! Just don't point it at him unless actual shooting is called for.
I don't pull it from the holster though unless it is to use it. Not had to in many years. I had a mount on the floor and dash and lock release for a pump shotgun. They could see it by just looking.
Brandishing charge would have to show you were going to be an aggressor, here anyways.
