Why don't you folks read the article and think long and hard about it.
I did, which is why I question your interpretation of it. Apparently others also feel that your interpretation is a bit off.
Quote:
Regardless of what the locals laws are, to do such a thing is malicious.
To do what thing? The author actually tends to be fairly conservative in his approach, IMO. Don't draw until you are ready to fire makes a lot more sense than drawing your gun to give a warning.
Quote:
You would not draw a gun if somebody was trying to take your wallet, really? Why carry a gun then, if you are not going to use it as a crime Deterrent.
The gun is not a crime deterrent, it is to protect your life. If what is in your wallet is worth getting into a shooting, you carry must carry a lot of stuff I don't.
Quote:
somebody could easily interprit that as 'I can't get away, i'm scared, I think I'll draw my gun and kill him'.
I don't think that is an easy interpretation at all, particularly in light of the rest of the article.
Quote:
The writer mentions you give no warnings, and that you don't use your gun for anything but to defend your own life, this is what I have a problem with.
I think you are reading a lot of stuff into it that is not there. Just my $.02.
