I've used a firearm in self defense twice up in NYC when I was involved in high risk business(legal) and I wasn't shooting into the air.
This is the first time I've pulled it out in 5 years and if that knife had come at me or one of the dudes had grabbed it I had every intent of using the gun. Pulling the piece out was a reaction and I would never hesitate to use it, with just cause. One of the guys with her was a cocky fuckin' cop and he was the one instigating at first. They were all drunk and I was drinking cokes all night because I was sick. My judgement was very clear.
I know what you're saying and I agree with your point that guns should be taken seriously. I also believe that a gun can be used as a deterent when you are dealing with a situation that could get out of control. I never start shit it's always the other way around in public but I will always keep the upper hand when trouble shows it's face.....
Peace.

Fair enough.

Sounds a bit like my past.
