Picture this: A homeless man bum comes up to you and in a demanding voice asks for money. You have no knowledge if he is armed, and he says nothing to suggest he is. Still, you feel threatened. You are carrying a pistol legally because of the state’s concealed weapon law. You pull it out and shoot him.

Shooting the bum who accosted you in a threatining manner would be bad because?

OK - you don't have your handgun with you (because maybe you're going into a Post office for example), so you instead beat him sensless and perhaps he dies - would that be OK?
I mean as long as he's not killed by a gun......

It would spray blood infected with AIDS, herpes, and hepatitis all over the pavement.

That's a serious public health hazard.
