My belief is that people who are willing to kill with a gun will just kill whomever. Those looking to use a gun to "scare" people into getting what they want are less likely to shoot even when being shot at. Yes, this is anecdotal, but this is what I've seen.
This is what I have experienced, bouncing at bars.
Mr. Mouthy Scary guy wielding a gun turns and runs when the target whips his out.
A career criminal, however, will know the motion and possibly shoot you in the face.
There are not that many career criminals taking their chances with individuals though.
They are smart enough to take the chance on the higher reward targets, like convenience stores, ect....
