give him the opportunity to reappraise his situation by showing the gun, and then chambering a shell?

This is the worse gun advice that I have ever heard on FR.

You know NOTHING about guns or concealed carry!!!!!

You need to quit giving gun advice until you have something safe and legit to offer!!!

And people who handle guns like I do, NEVER have to explain an accidental death, accidental discharge or have a gun get dropped and kill an innocent. I think the idea of carrying a gun with a live round chambered is both stupid and dangerous. And I think most hospitals, and gunshot victims would likely agree with me. People may still commit stupid acts, and hit an innocent, but they certainly knew that the gun was going to discharge when it did. Thinking for yourself doesn't hurt nearly as much as you have been told it does.

Seems you found someone that bluffs with both his firearm and his knowledge of it's use ......:o)

Stay Safe !
