If you are not prepared to shoot an attacker, then you have absolutely no legitimate reason to carry a gun. It is not a pacifier... it is a lethal tool and tools are meant to be used... not looked at. NEVER pull a gun unless you are prepared to use it... because the person that you confront may have the will to use a gun and will take it from you and use it. I am not saying that one must use a gun if they have it... or even if they do pull it. I am saying that one should NEVER pull a gun out... ever... under any circumstance... unless as a last resort... and then only if you are prepared to use it.

“I am saying that one should NEVER pull a gun out... ever... under any circumstance... unless as a last resort... and then only if you are prepared to use it.”
Then you are implying if not outright saying “it’s better for a woman to be found in an alley, raped and strangled with her own panty hose, than for her to be found in a police station explaining to the police how she scared off her attacker with a gun she wasn’t prepared to use to shoot him”.
If that’s what you believe, then that’s what you believe.
