Lol, it's just a point they will enforce in your mind at the class. They want to make sure that you know that just because you can use your gun in a situatiun, does not mean you should. One of my first weeks carrying my gun, I had a group of beggers start harrssing me at my subaru when I was getting gas. I examined every situation and knew I had an out if they persisted - the out being get in the car lock the door. One older male came within what I defined as my safety bubble, and I told him to proceed no further. He proceeded explaining he just wants to talk - a tactic used to get inside your bubble of comfort so they can proceed with whatever attack they have in mind, be in robbery, stabbing, shooting, whatever. I jumped in my subaru, pulled my gun and set it loaded on my lap. The man approached and was about to try and put his hand on my door when he saw the gun and backed up peacefully leaving the area. I phoned the police to let them know they had potential robbers begging and harassing people at so and so gas station. They said to leave and they'd send a unit to investigate.
Carrying a gun is a privelage, and one that can be empowering to help you save your life or that of your family. It's understanding this kind of respondsibility every day you carry (which should be EVERY DAY). Don't only carry when you think you'll need a gun... The best gun is the one you have with you. I know this doesn't help decide on the model or type, but just wanted to get these few thoughts out to the OP.
