Actualy I think oppisit.
If there was a armed robbery at a conveinece store were the theif pointed a pistol at the cashier. Then the casheir points one back, it would make one of them more temted to shoot because thay are being threatened.

Also if there were some vilont people who could get quite aggresive [like bouncers, who do anoth damage with there battons as it is] they probaly would pull out a gun and shoot. rather than a less dangerous fist fight.
