BIg difference between having and using

They actually made the decision to use.

And you won't know if the robber intends to use it until he shoots you. Then it's too late.

I prefer not to entrust my safety to the good will of the person who is robbing me at gunpoint. He has indicated his intention to hurt or kill me if I don't comply. If I doubted his resolve, I would just say "Fuck you -- get out of my house." Instead, I will take him at his word and act accordingly.
