I dont believe in guns. Suppose you're being robbed by an armed thief. If you have no gun, then the probability that he will use it against you (other than for intimidating) are really low; whereas, if you draw your gun, bullets are bound to come flying.
If I feel that to be the situation, then I won't draw. If I feel like I really am in danger, then I want to be able to defend myself.

Also, it would be foolish to draw while someone is looking at you and pointing their gun at you. The whole idea of having a gun is to get to it before someone gets the drop on you, so the bad guy won't ever get a chance to point his gun at you.
