Well, that's a real pity, I was hoping for a substantive response. This is a matter of no small concern to me. I suspect you have been confusing "If you draw it you better use it" with "If you draw it you'd better be legally and morally PREPARED to use it".

I will say this; a concealed handgun can become one of the things you carry every day, like your keys, your wallet, your phone. Unlike all those daily items however, you will not use your handgun every day, in fact the vast majority of folks who carry will never draw a handgun in times of need at all.

Most all of us, at one time or another, will lose, misplace or forget our keys, our wallet and/or our phone. Any of these occurrences with respect to one's handgun can result in disaster, of which one's own legal liabilities would be just a small part. Given that, and the very limited set of circumstances which it can be legally drawn, one could make a strong case for just avoiding the whole handgun issue altogether.

In view of all the incurred liabilities, a concealed handgun can feel a whole lot like a ball and chain.

It is important to note however that most times a gun is drawn under justifiable circumstances the imminent violent crime is deterred without bloodshed.
