More often than not an attacker will be persuaded to leave at the sight of a firearm.

Yep, and the person being robbed at gunpoint probably has better odds than one being robbed by bat or a knife.

Somebody that pulls a gun is less likely to use the gun than a person who uses a knife or a bat in a robbery/crime.(more to prove and exibit)

What I mean is that if I am the victim of a situation, I will not pull a gun to just show it. If it is so dire that I need to show it, I will need to use it.

If the person turns and runs, good on them. Other than this--if a gun is pulled by me, it is to kill. Period.

If gun control was working, then why isn’t Chicago one of the safest cities in America?

20 years ago I used a gun for convincing some young drug dealers that they should not sell their wares to subteens on the churchyard at night. Calling the police would have availed nothing. Sweet reason ditto. A revolver pointed at the head of the fellow in the car selling the crack with an explanation that I would not call the cops if I saw him there again was convincing.
