I think he failed to appreciate the other guy had the same rights as he, and he could just chew the guy out while holding a gun on him. That's fatal stupid.

We do not disagree on this.

I have read of numerous cases where people show a gun and the assailants run off.

I have also read of cases where someone has a gun, and does not draw it until they are already bloodied and on the ground.

Of course there are plenty of cases where someone shoots, or shoots a warning shot, when they are not justified, and it leads to bad results all around.

We passed a defensive display law in Arizona to allow the gun to be displayed so that the other person knows that you are armed, if you are concerned for your safety.

One of the reasons I live in AZ as well. Real “common sense” gun laws. But...Brewer’s coming up short now that she’s been elected. She snubbed the last couple of important laws. There’s a major street in Tempe I can’t drive on because she vetoed the law that would have permitted carrying in a car on streets within a University campus.
