Only in circumstances where you are trained and not surprised.
Any recent examples you can cite?
It seems painfully obvious to me that the number of civilians who are actually safer because they own and carry guns is miniscule compared to those who end up killed by their own guns. Help me challenge that perception with factual occurrences.
A man in his early 40s entered a nail salon at about 5:30 PM and began asking a female employee about purchasing diamonds. When the confused woman told the man she had no money to buy diamonds, he reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a pistol. When a customer getting her nails done saw what was happening, she reached into her purse and pulled out her own firearm. Upon seeing the woman's gun, the man quickly fled the salon.
