re: All you conceal carry baws, ever had to pull your gun?

The only time a permit holder should pull their ccw in public is in a situation to use it

Just once

Yes. I actually did not have my CCP yet but I was using my truck as an extension of my home. I was at the Amite racetrack getting gas late one night after an LSU football game and a man threatened me while i was getting gas. He was talking out of his head and I didnt understand him other than he wanted a ride and threatened me if i didnt give it to him. I calmly put the gas pump back and went to get in my truck and the man jumps in my back seat. My wife had already grabbed my 9mm and had it out for me on the center console. I turned around and stuck it in his face and told him to get the F out. Once he was looking down the barrel of my pistol he jumped out. I fully intended to shoot him especially if he came at my wife or my self and my finger was on the trigger slowly pulling it when he jumped out.

Apparently he had done the same thing to a woman before we got there and she had called the cops.

The police knew him by name and said he was a frequent flier. The guy even tried to sale drugs to the cops but they did nothing to him. they asked us and the woman if we wanted to press charges but said that it would do anything and he would be back on the streets. I didnt want to worry with going to court and crap and they just brought the man home.

Once; but it wasn't an incident that I was directly involved with.

Got my CC when I took a new job and the office was in a pretty shitty part of the Northside in Pittsburgh. Got to work in the morning, pulled into the parking lot and got out of the car was walking toward the side door of the building. As I was getting close to the door about 30 feet away, on the other side of the parking lot, something went down, I don't know what happened, probably a drug deal that went bad. I hear two quick gunshots. I dipped around the corner of the building behind a brick wall and pulled my gun. Made it the 15 yards or so to the door and went in the office and someone had already called the police. Heart was pounding, hands were sweating, it was a pretty shitty spot to be in.

The day of TX game was at the Denham's Sam club, this portly young man was checking out and it appeared he had a glock (could have been a water bottle) strapped on...don't know how he could have pulled it out...roll of fat was a canopy over his weapon he would have had to due a cross draw to hold the roll of fat up while drawing.

I had a crackhead try to pull me out of my truck at the Acadian Shell Station next to TJ's about 18 months ago.
I was getting back in after pumping gas and on the phone with a client. As I was shutting my door he rushed up and grabbed my left arm and started pulling me out. I dropped the phone and grabbed my GLock 19 with my right hand and put it in his face. I didn't want to kill the guy so I told him to back the frick up. He started throwing shite at my tuck at that point and started yelling kill me kill me. I called to Police and he ran off.

From that point on I will not get on the phone when I am at a gas station. Super aware of my surroundings. If I wouldn't have been armed that day he would have been able to steal my truck more than likely.

My bro had one of those giant revolvers you use for hog hunting, not sure the make but it was a giant piece, even had a scope for it.

One night someone pulled out in front of him and he honked at the idiot. Idiot jumps out of his car with hand at waist. Brother slows down so he doesn't hit the dude, but slowly pulls hand cannon out and taps it against his window. that poor kid about shite himself as he sprinted back to his piece of shite car and took off

This gets repeated a lot, but it's a silly concept and usually repeated by people who have never had to pull their gun.

It's not just silly, it's dangerous. You should absolutely have the mindset that if you pull it you're prepared to use it. The time to sort all that out is beforehand, not when the adrenalin's flowing; that's why the military stresses drills for combat exercises. You don't think, you just do from muscle memory.

So make up your mind well ahead of time that if you have to pull the trigger, you will. But making up your mind ahead of time that if it comes out you're going to pull the trigger regardless is a good way to get charged with something you don't want to get charged with.

Pull? No, but I tug on it frequently.
