What if you have to draw and the bad guy runs as soon as he sees the gun?

In late 97 I had a crack head try to mug me he came out form between two cars about 1o feet or so away and took off running when he saw the pistol clear the pocket of my sweats.
It can happen
Very true.
I take exception to all the posts I see all over the internet that state "If you draw had better shoot." or "If you draw you must shoot" The fact is that life isn't that concrete and being that dogmatic can get you in a whole lot of trouble.
I always say the bad guy has from the time I clear the holster until my sights are on the target to make some serious life choices and if he makes the right ones I'm OK with that.
To be perfectly honest I'd be shooting at that point. (Unless of course they bailed as I drew) Google: Tueller Drill
I totally agree with you BC1. What secrets does the guy next door have??? The murderer who just killed the family down the street, is now shopping at the same grocery store as you. After he filled up his gas tank while you were pumping your gas.Ghetto urchans frequent the same stores and malls as you do. This isn't a ghetto thing. This isn't a contest between OC and CC. This is simply a factual statement that one cannot assume all is OK because they have a gun.

Very true. The pedophile who killed our little guy is out, working odd-jobs at the homes of unsuspecting people. Here's a guy who's attacked little boys on multiple occaisions working in your home and you wouldn't know it. Just because he served his time (15 yrs) doesn't mean he's safe. He's been dumped back on an unsuspecting society. Marc Klass (Polly Klass Foundation) once told me the chances are favorable that this guy will offend again. Who will be around him when he gets the urge. Could be anyone's kids. He lurks in the parking lot at Wally World.
The problem with revenge is that you destroy the rest of the family with your weakness. I'm not doing anyone any good if I can't support my family from a jail cell. It's living that's hard. Anyone can get revenge. I had to settle for delivering a vicious beating some years back. DA refused to prosecute. He's gone from the state now anyway. but he's probably going to re-offend someday.If a guy harmed my child and was walking the street, he would not be for long.
