Yeah, my dad carries a gun for the same reason most do, for protection, in case he needs it. I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure this is the only time he's ever "threatened" anyone with it, even though he's carried one for probably 10 years or better. He's had a gun pulled on him on one other occasion that i know of. he was leaving a bar and some lady hit his car. He said, "we need to exchange insurance info." and she pulled out a gun, and said "no we don't". One time he was out target shooting at a friends, and some cops pulled up because of a complaint. He talked to them for a while, because he knew them. This was before they switched from revolvers to mag. fed handguns, and he had to show them how it worked
