Isn't one of the first things you're told when you train in how to use a gun basically "Never bluff?"
Heck, I'm a non-combatant, and even I know that much of the philosophy. "Never draw a weapon you're not prepared to use. For that matter, don't carry a weapon you're not prepared to use." I'm not, so I don't. (And, thanks to many brave men and women to whom I'm genuinely grateful, I don't have to.)
