Be careful what you wish for. I think that discretion is definitely the better part of valor when you're carrying a gun.
Then again, it may not. I WAS discrete. I was legally authorized to shoot the asshole before I reached for my sidearm (there's no way a court here would convict me of even involuntary manslaughter considering the facts of the case), but I didn't, choosing instead to just "lightly slap" him in a proverbial sense and send him on his way.

"discretion" doesn't mean "run away" or "submit" to an attacker.
