Some states specifically allow for the presentation of a defensive firearm for the particular intent of preventing the escalation of the situation to actual use of force. Some states do not allow the firearm to be in sight unless you are justified in pulling the trigger.

As far as an accurate assessment of how often it work... I've never seen that particular question studied. The Armed Citizen Analysis mentions that shots were fired in 72% of the 482 incidents in their data.
