Oh, and maybe related to another thread but homestyle didn't seem to have a lot of training but he sure diffused the situation!
He did have a spray and pray approach.
The numbers reflect that just presenting a firearm and the believable intent to use it halt "most" criminal attacks. Risk too high, moving on to easier pickings.
It's a basic law of nature. That's not lost in the concrete jungle. He could have shouted get the **** out or I'll shoot you and most of the time, especial if they see he is holding a AR-15 and crap is about to get real, will break contact and retreat, usually without a shot being fired.
More average non-gun type people should know this.
Most of the time a shot is not really required. But if it is be at least marginally trained...
