A friend of mine was a police officer. His advice on handguns was simple. If you carry one, be prepared to use it. If you use it, be prepared to kill someone. Waving a gun around will usually get you shot. This was the reason he left the police force. He was unprepared to kill another human being. It is usually better to avoid dangerous situations than to expect to get out of them with what little training you may have in using a handgun. Handguns in an urban setting have only one use - to kill another person.
