I have had guns put in my face and I've been shot at, never carried in public and have never been injured or lost a single $1 though. I feel fortunate considering the situations and areas I've been in. The way I see it is if you pull a gun on somebody with a gun you're asking for a gun fight, bullets fly, and somebody is going to get hurt or killed...

You obviously bet your life on luck, me and most other people do not do this. I like being prepared.

And as far as pulling a gun on someone with a gun: every gun owner either knows or should knows that soon as they clear leather the situation is going to be escalated multiple times. By no means do i automatically drawl my weapon just because someone has a gun to me, to assume this is the default reaction every time is foolish (not saying you do). A gun is simply one tool of many, each situation requires a different tool, and some situations may call for a a prayer instead.

Soon as the BG pulls a gun on you a gunfight has allready started and the only safe assumption in that situation is that your going to be dead within the next 60 seconds or so. BGs walking away from things like this may be acceptable to you, but in reality they should be in a body bag.
