As long as it keeps spilling over here and the moderators do nothing, I will continue to answer over here.

Sorry to say it but you are deceiving yourself. Once two people draw their guns either one or both of them is going to get wounded, perhaps killed. IRL there is no such thing as "I will hit his hand/gun with one well placed shot" or "I will shot only to incapacitate him".
If your example is about scaring a would be burglar from your home with your gun, the house where I (and most people around) live is made of stone and you can't break in trough the windows, I sleep soundly at night even tough I have heard rounds of automatic gunfire at least once (and semi and gun shots God only knows how many times). No, I do not own any guns at all to "protect" myself and I feel I have more real life reasons than most to own one.
