Yeah, those were the good old days.

Whatever the outcome, the decision to shoot or not shoot would be very difficult to live with. If you waited until the BG killed someone, you would wonder if you should have shot sooner. If you didn't wait and killed the BG, you would wonder if he would have just taken the money and left without harming anybody.

As AndyC said, it's not an exciting game.

Where's your napkin? Ain't you got no manners?

The napkin is in the right hand, helping to camouflage drawing the weapon.
(BTW, covertly drawing my weapon, if possible, was in my game plan too.)

That way you have the advantage of having the weapon in your hand if you need to shoot. If not, then you can reholster without anyone being the wiser.

I don't think this type of dive has cloth napkins. If they did, I'd tuck it into the neck of my tee shirt.
