/^t/Second, the usage of a gun can cause more danger than create protection for its owner. It happens so in a situation when a person has to face some danger, namely s/he pulls out her/his gun in order to cause a threat to an aggressor and protect her/himself from the attack. If the aggressor is armed too, his immediate reaction is pulling out her/his own gun and using it, although at first s/he had no intention of harming or killing the person attacted. This is why a gun should be used only in a life-threat, rape-threat situation or when a victim is terrorized by an aggressor with a gun. In such situations a person should act quickly, with cool nerves and without hesitations; otherwise, a gun is not helpful at all but quite contrary.
