“Always fire twice if you draw your weapon from a concealed holster. In the real world if the threat is there to make you draw then that threat must be sufficient to also make you fire.”

I had two guys that I was 90% sure were seconds away from pulling a weapon or just jumping me and at a minimum beating the fluids out of me. I pulled my weapon, and told them to leave. They did.

Now had I not pulled my weapon, I'm not sure I'd be here. If I had shot one or both of them and they had not had a gun, I would be in prison right now.

Precisely my point, and the most common form of self defense with a firearm. I have had a couple of people in my classes that actually had to shoot someone, but 10 times as many who had people run from them because they had a gun.

Most assailants do not have a gun, they have a club, or knife, or bare hands, or are multiple assailants.
