But for some reason really drove the point home for me. The thing about a carry piece is it is a last resort, because if your going to present the gun then you better be ready to actually fire it. Most everyone that has a carry will tell you that they don't ever want to use it, but it is there if the situation were to arise.
Exactly! I refuse to be a victim if I can help it.
The main reason for don't pull unless you intend to fire is it's not a showpiece. It's a weapon. It doesn't take sides or have feelings. If you're not ready to fire, the person on the other side will get it from you... and not have any reservations about firing.
