Cute, but I wonder how many stories like this end up with the good guy getting shot? I recall a Dallas area CHL-er that tried to pull a gun with one already pointed at him. He's dead now.

If you haven't thought about what you'd do when the fight starts with you already at gunpoint, you should. Yes, we should all be in yellow/orange and avoid these confrontations altogether, but the sad fact is that the bad guys often get to make the first move. Pulling your gun is probably not the most likely way to get out of that situation alive. Although it worked in this case, it is only because the attacker did not have the killer instinct...yet. I suspect a few more years of crime and a few trips to prison and he'll be back with a bigger gun and the will to use it.

Let's face it. We're gun people. We like problems and scenarios that can be successfully solved by us putting our gun into action quickly and accurately and we become victorious heroes. While fun at the range (and keyboard), this addresses only a fraction of the threat scenarios you are likely to face. This one concerns me greatly and occupies quite a bit of my time whilst I walk around in code yellow.

Sorry for the lecture. Please resume joviality.
