The Mindset You Must Have For Concealed Carrying A Handgun
You must decide, as you start to carry, under what grounds are you personally decided to kill someone.There can be no hesitation, as the only worse thing to do other than be caught unarmed by violence is to pull a gun and not use it. Shoot to stop the threat, and shoot enough times to make sure it is stopped. Legalities aside, you need to be discreet. If you are open carrying, or even badly concealed carrying, you just told the local bad guy that you’re his first target, and you also have a gun that he can use on other people. I don’t believe in warning people that you have a gun; if it’s time to use it, use it....[But].... You should never start a fight, or be drawn into one, whether you carry or not. If you’re in a bar, get into an argument, and he goes to “get mah piece” from his truck, you need to run out the back door, even if you have a gun yourself. Any gunfight you are not in is a gunfight you won. There are very few things that need to be won with a gun, and silly arguments are not among them. -- Return of Kings

Not quite is message ghost. Avoiding that gunfight is better than being in one where the out come is an unknown.
Walking away if you can is 100% Fighting it out is at best 50-50 at the start and it may be too late to walk away.

Yeah. If there was a choice to fight or flee, I always flew, or fleed, or fled, or whatever. It's worked for 85 years.

"If" the concealed carry individual is trained, skilled in that training, is carrying and finds himself/herself in a code black situation it is impossible to do the arm chair quarter-backing. Life and death situations require situational awareness and threat scale/imminent danger determination, at, the, moment.

I'm not arguing the premise, but the delivery.
He's wrong, you know it.
No gunfight means no winner.
No chess game means no winner.
etc.
He's a messy writer at best.
I've pointed this out before.
