Never even drawn it for any reason. I actually find myself holding myself to a higher standard when I carry. When someone pisses me off, I'm much more ready to de-escalate, rather than express myself.

I don't doubt that is not the norm. A lot of training classes spend most of the class working on that de-escalation, avoid, evade, only fire as last resort sort of mentality. But there are individuals... they are looking for trouble.

The video is Captain Mal from Firefly, assuring Simon Tam that he won't kill Simon in his sleep. "Son, if I ever kill you, you'll be awake. You'll be facing me. You'll be armed."
