1)Dayton Mall...didn't a member's wife get robbed there a few years ago? We rarely went before, now we will never go there again. 2)This incident...robber was no angel(prior theft & disorderly charges). Now CCW holder has to deal with the guilt over this. All over shoes they had the money to buy. 3)On one hand I will give any material possession in this world over to a robber before shooting. On the other hand, if you point a gun at me or my family, I will most likely feel life is threatened and do what I need to. It is a case by case basis. Never a first resort. But, there aren't varying degrees between unholstering and shooting. If you pull it...it is to shoot. As far as being mentally prepared...handguns aren't necessarily a part of human nature, but fight or flight is. **My views may not mirror other CCW holders**
