Utter bull****. In most cases handguns are never used in anger. 99% of
them. Your 'most cases' falls in the 1 %. A guy once pulled a knife on
me and demanded money. I pulled a .45 and told him to run. He did.
Had he tried to ' use it against me' I would have shot him several
times. Back in the bin.
