[QUOTE="SMS, post: 1792568, member: 42"] Yes, I've read them. IMHO, the presentation of a firearm constitutes a threat of deadly force and in nearly every single one of those "stories", there were other actions that could be taken without the story-teller injecting deadly force. We've had a lot of discussions on this subject though...I'm not going to revist them all. There are two camps...one that believes a gun should be holstered and/or concealed until it needs to be drawn AND fired. And those who think it is ok to use it as a charm to ward off or 'diffuse' a situation. I know which camp I'm in. In some of other discussions many of us are of the opinion that if you have time to "show your hand" then you have time to do something else. It's not about baiting the "BG" and getting a kill, it's about using your head, avoiding the situation and doing something else without YOU being the one who is injecting deadly force. Sorry you don't get that. Showing a gun to punks in a walmart parking lot or to a guy with a can of mace is closer to baiting than the many other options one has in those scenarios. [/QUOTE]
