Well, I said I wouldn't draw my weapon if someone had a gun pointed at me because my thought was that makes you dead - Not because I wouldn't shoot someone if I felt my life in danger.
Scenario I would use it? About 15 years ago I was working in da hood with my brother. I was inside doing some work and my brother was outside. I looked out the front and a guy had a gun pointed at my brother. I looked to the owner and told her to call 911 and walked outside, maybe it wasn't the smartest move, but hey, it was my little brother. As it turned out he was not willing to use the gun and two of us intimidated him and he backed off and walked away.
On the flip side of that, all 3 of us lived. If I had had a gun I may not be able to say that.
EDT, armed security is of course the ideal solution. However, I can't see a security company working with me on such a limited basis (about 2 hour every couple of months) without much notice. I could be wrong.
