A responsible gun owner would not bring a gun into a bar. A responsible gun owner would not put themselves in such a place where incidents are so typical unless they are looking for trouble.

Most states prohibit carrying into a bar. So if you are an honest guy you wouldn't have a gun, if your a bad guy you would pull your gun.

Better question... would you pull your gun if you are being assaulted ?

Heck yes

In my state it's illegal to carry a firearm into a bar, so my answer is no. However, I wouldn't be in a bar, so if it occurred outside of a bar and given the fact that I am a small and older man, if a younger stronger man attacked me and wouldn't back down, I am NOT gonna be his punching bag.

when you decide to carry a weapon you have to have the maturity to never let your ego make choices for you. You have to be man enough to walk away. You have to have the emotional intelligence to know when a bad situation is arising and get away.

If your absolute last resort if deadly force you are going to have to make a choice that will haunt you every single night when you lay your head down for the rest of your life. Anyone who says differently is either lying or sociopathic.

No, I can fist fight just fine. I've had LOTS of practice since school. I never lost one yet. That said, if a weapon was involved, YES...I would present my weapon. Who said not to carry while at a bar? We are allowed to in my State. I wouldn't if I was getting tanked up though. I sure as hell am not leaving it at home or in the truck going for Friday night fish and some Pepsi!

I find it very irresponsible for a state to allow guns in a bar...and I'm pro gun

1st, I would not go into a bar with a firearm, even tho it is legal in my state.
if the person was getting in my face, I would leave to get out of the situation. if the person was trying to kill me or do great bodily harm, I would shoot him down without even a 2nd thought.
