Yes. When you introduce a firearm into a confrontation, you are escalating it in unforeseeable ways. The other party will perceive a threat to his life and may respond in a way that compels you to shoot to avoid being killed. That's a long-winded way of saying be darned sure you're prepared to pull the trigger before you display the gun. Otherwse, either you may have to kill when you still had a chance of talking your way out of the situation or you may get killed because you hesitate, not having been prepared mentally to actually shoot.
