oh...moron......that is exactly what would be called for in most robberies....except of course when the robbers have the money...and then order everyone into the back of the Brown's chicken, march them into the cooler, and execute all 7 employees........
see...that is what you don't get moron......not all robbers have impulse control.....or want living witnesses.....
And when you don't have a gun...the criminal gets to decide if you live or die...and you have no say in the matter...
If you have the gun...moron.....then you can hand over your money, and if it escalates from their...you have an option to deal with it....
moron....
When you have a gun you often still die like the gun shop owners. Pulling a gun on them makes them more likely to shoot.
Brain....if you are actually in the situation you have to evaluate it as it happens....there are times where unarmed victims are simply murdered, either because the criminal doesn't want a witness or because they want to kill someone as part of the act.......so having a gun gives you a say in how the situation ends......you aren't just putting the decision of wether you live or die in the hands of a criminal you know nothing about.....
The girl who was raped 50 ft. from the college police station....that criminal went on to rape at least 2 more women and killed the 3rd.........none of these women were armed, but he was.....none of the women had a say in which one of them was the one he decided to murder.....
And Brain....when you actually read these stories....in many of them, the criminal runs away rather than fight when the victim pulls a weapon....I have seen countless videos of armed criminals running away when confronted by armed citizens.....many times having started the encounter aiming the gun at the victim.....and they still run away.......rather than shooting....
It all depends on the situation.....and if you don't have a gun.....you have no say at all in how that situation turns out......the guy who said he will kill you if you don't give him what he wants is the one who gets to decide wether you live or die....
And that seems to be what you want....your living or dying given over to a criminal.....
