When Atticus says I wanted you to see what real courage is instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand what does he mean?

This is when atticus is talking about how mrs.dubose was the bravest woman he ever knew. i think it's in chapter 11. To Jem's disbelief Atticus goes on to say that she was a great lady. Atticus tells Jem how she was a courageous woman, he says, "She was. She had her own views about things, a lot different from mine, maybe ... son, I told you that if you hadn't lost your head I'd have made you go read to her. I wanted you to see something about her-I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of a man with a gun is hand (a subtle reference to himself). It's when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what (another subtle reference to himself and a foreshadowing of the case his about to take on). You rarely win but sometimes you do. Mrs. Dubose won alright, all ninety-eight pounds of her. According to her views, she died beholden to nothing and nobody. She was the bravest person I ever knew." (pg.149)
