I wouldn't pull a gun on someone unless I was in fear for my life, and I do all I can to avoid those type of situations.

I know exactly where you are coming from. When I lived in Virginia a few years back, I was very active on the shooting range. Did all of my own reloading. Even made some black powder pistols and rifles.
I was certainly not suggesting that a man with a gun would actually contemplate using it or even point it in jest because of a remark made by someone. Anyone who did that would be expelled from the range permanently.
My remark was made in the same jest as someone comenting on the kilt.
