Just LOOKING at the gun is ENOUGH to scare away the thugs.
absolutely not. beleive me, i been there. i had to carry a loaded gun through a picket line. they know that if you take one step out of line, they will ruin you. they WANT you to take that gun out - then YOU are arrested and go to jail and they’re the ‘poor victims’. i had to grab the holster with both hands to keep them from pulling it out. they WANT you to shoot them so they can sure the pants off of you.
carrying a gun ios a double edged sword. trust me, you do NOT want to do this.
