It is easier to diffuse the situation without escalating it. Which is always the preferred option. I'll take a punch before throwing one. Self-defense is much easier to justify in court vs assault. Just cause the guy can't take a punch and got dropped doesn't mean I didn't act in self-defense.
There's too many stupid people here in Kansas/Missery to not carry. Between the meth users and the 'mental' cases (aka lady in Parkville that fired two shots in the DMV parking lot), sometimes the mere presence of a firearm gives people pause.

I honked at a guy for almost taking the front bumper off of my old Malibu. He got out of his truck at the stop light with a tire iron. I displayed a .45, he turned around, got back in his truck and left. He'd have made a helluva mess of me because we were in a left turn lane on a bridge.

Most times I'm carrying.Do I want to kill a guy who is an idiot having a bad day?

Or is he truly threatening my person and needs to be put down?

He brought a stick to a gun fight

Just read an article about a guy who was working under his car when the 4th of July earthquake hit. Had the car up properly on jackstands and they failed during the Earthquake. I hadnt really thought about this when I changed my oil over the weekend.

After 20 or so years in law enforcement I put my guns away. I hardly ever carry my gun with me because most the time the best you can hope for is to be a good witness as it is too dangerous to let a few rounds go flying into a crowded. The scenario GV and JB bring up are just plain scary. You never know what the idiot is going to do or if the are packing. Most the time honor is the better part of valor and I am with Jar, but I am also with GV if someone was to approach me in that manner. Home protection is a different story altogether. If you invade my home you are asking me to kill you. My gun is lock and loaded in my bed stand drawer. The bottom line for me is what we said as officers, better to be tried by twelve than buried by six. Be safe it is a crazy dangerous world!

Talking

You beak into my home when the wifey or I'm there. You're going out in a body bag. Two senior citizens with disabilities. In my county, they wouldn't even think about charging us.

I carry. So does the wifey. Out of the house. You have to be very careful if you show a gun. It may stop the actions of one, or go totally wrong in a heart beat.

Having a well thought out plan before hand makes it so much easier. Meetings don't last nearly as long unless you have a long winded person in the group that needs some tape over his mouth.

There are no easy answers to any of this. People are just crazy these days. It started going down hill back in 2008.
