You’re an idiot!
You don’t “Brandish” anything, that makes you a sitting duck. You tale careful aim and shoot to kill, assuming that you’ll only get one clean shot.
Agree to the Nth degree! (don’t laugh, I’m on a roll tonight)
Uncle once told me (he was Korea, and 2 tours VN)
“If a man is scared enough to pull a weapon, he’s scared enough to use it.”
And then, he gave me the meat and potatoes: “Never pull a weapon unless you INTEND to use it, cause if you don’t intend to use it, you’ll just get shot by the other guy who is more scared than you.”
The girl did alright.
