Livaccari points out that, in a holdup, a gun-waving victim is more likely to end up shot than one who simply hands over money

That's probably why my CHL instructor emphatically said if you pull your weapon, use it.

in a holdup, a gun-waving victim is more likely to end up shot than one who simply hands over money an idiot who has no business handling a gun until you learn the first rule of a gun. You pull it to USE it , not to "wave it" like some cheerleader waving a pom pom.
