One thing I forget to mention is pulling your gun out to scare someone and not shooting it immediately puts you in danger of having your gun taken away.

I forget the correct distance buy I remember reading that and attacker can cover a distance of 20 feet??? (more or less just a guess) and take away your gun before you can shoot him.

If anyone I know has asked my advice about carrying a gun the first thing I ask is if they are mentally able to end someone's life. If you can't do that you are better off not owning a gun or at least not pulling it out until you are prepared to shoot it.
