Is it me , or do many chl holders have an affinity to engage in firearm combat when it's avoidable. For example, witnessing a store robbery and reaching for their firearm. I read one article where a couple guys were checking on a house (housesitting) for some friends, when they found that intruders were occupying it. They then proceeded to go in *swat* style, pistols ready. Does this make any sense?!? I would have called 911 and left it at that.
I just thought the rule with handgun ownership was to not do anything you wouldn't do without a gun. Just because we have the power of a gun, does not always mean it should be used. Wouldn't you agree that the only time a weapon should be drawn would be in an immediate life-threatening situation?
What would happen if you got in a bar fight (adrenaline pumping and all) and you were just getting your ass kicked. Would you pull out a firearm? What about a carjacking? The thief probably just wants to take the car to a chop-shop and by pulling a gun (they would probably shoot - leaving both of you dead)... just something to think about.
