I was relieved not to have fired. As authors John Lott and Gary Kleck have written, the majority of times a firearm is used for self protection, it is NOT fired. The mere presence of the firearm is enough to discourage a thug in 9 of 10 cases. In the 10th case, you'd best have a gun (and use it) to survive the encounter.

I sure wish I could not have fired.
