About Drawing a Firearm....

[mljdeckard]

I absolutely concur. The goal here is not to 'get' to shoot someone. The goal here is to NOT GET SHOT.

Regarding the Dodgers attack: In California they would prefer that you just take your beating without defending yourself.

The issue is pretty much black and white for me.

1. Don't draw it unless you have no other option.

2. If you draw it, you better be ready to use it because the situation has escalated as far as it can go.

I totally agree. I have never drawn a handgun in the USA. I don't try to scare, bluff or try to make anyone back down. I learned many years ago if you don't pull the trigger when you point a weapon you may be too late. I have seen men hesitate and pay dearly for it.
