No Charges in Wal-Mart BB Gun Shooting

I wonder if these people got shot. The people in the first three pics, of course, were smart enough to go to Target and Staples!

I'm no advocate of what they're doing, but they all have their firearms in an expressly non-active position, draped around neck, holstered, etc.

How long do you think it would take them to go from a "expressly non-active position" to the ability to fire their weapon? 1 second? 1/2 a second? 3 seconds?

Fast enough to justify LEOs to approach from a defensive rather than offensive posture.

A LEO can approach gun draw and aimed confident that he'll get off a shot before someone can get their weapon off their shoulder. No so sure if the people has the weapon already in hand, finger on trigger.
