I read a post tonight about an over excited gun carrier who made a poor decision at walmart and shot a few cars and endangered the lives of some innocent people. It reminds me of so many hunter stories where a person gets overly excited about a buck and starts blasting away without ever getting a good shot at the deer. Or even worse the hunter who hears a noise and starts shooting in the direction of the noise because they just know it is a deer.
I know there are many on this site that have carried for along time and use their heads when situations arise. Not every situation calls for someone to pull their gun, in fact very very few call for a person to pull their gun in self defense. I do not think a shoplifter who is running out of a store and is not threatening violence calls for a weapon to be unholstered.
I would like to hear some of your wise knowledge based on your actual experiences as to when you were able to walk away and not pull your weapon and those who had no choice but to pull a weapon. Please share your knowledge.
