I can understand this argument depending on where the person is from. There are parts of this country where people are killed for parking spaces. It's unclear whether these cases are drive-by shootings or if it's a conflict that escalates.
Either way I'm not sure introducing another gun into the situation is going to help. I've never heard of two people arguing, one pulls a gun, the other pulls a gun, and they both say "Well shit, since we've both got guns pointed at each other let's calm down a bit and just walk away." If you're at the point where is gun is being pulled I can't imagine there is much you can do to get out of the situation unless the person with the gun happens to have some measure of control.
