The gun forums and the [print] gun magazines are full of reports of incidents in which just showing a gun resulted in the bad guys having a sudden change of heart. With so many such incidents documented -- and all apparently with the person who drew or displayed the gun having managed to avoid being arrested for felony aggravated assault -- it's difficult to understand why Minorcan insists that one MUST shoot if one draws.

I've read through this thread a couple of times. Many very knowledgeable folks have carefully detailed the reasons why drawing a gun to stop a potentially deadly attack, and actually firing it are two separate actions. While I understand that speed and accuracy are critical in most defensive shootings, the most important element is good judgement. I agree with Don P that anyone who thinks that because the gun is drawn it must be used should not carry one.
