[QUOTE="okeydoke, post: 2908488, member: 41320"] I"ve pointed a gun at a man several times in my life and every time, the guy stopped what he was doing and fled. NO shots fired. Ask any cop and he'll tell you that's how it goes, over 80% of the time. About half of the time when just the sight of the gun doesn't impress them, misses suffice. :-) All you have to do is check out the Armed Citizen NRA column, Jim Cirillo's gunfighting book, the FBI's UCR, and the DOJ's Annual crime survey. Most personal attacks are not committed with a gun. In the case of the 270+ armed robbery stakeout incidents of the NYPD unit, only 40 guys made the cops fire, and they were cornered, guaranteed to do at least 10 years in one of the worst prisons in the US. If you aint stupid, you'll let your attacker flee, cause if you shoot him, it will cost you at least 50k to stay out of prison (and not lose the civil suit). It could easily ruin your life and cost you half a million, too. Just ask Geo Z about that one! [/QUOTE]
