Friends of mine that have been mugged always saw a gun. They also always take your cell phone. I'm sorry, but I'm not waiting to see the gun.

Enjoy prison.

Well what he says is sort of true. I mean seariously. So someone comes up to you and demands your wallet and you refuse. They then pull out a Gun. By that time it is too late for you.

You're joking, right? Read what he wrote... He basically says that if someone demands his wallet (even without force) he will shoot them, as they deserve to be shot. Wow.

Oh and "govnor", you better learn something real quick. This isn't the wild west where scores are settled at the end of gun barrel. I think we'd all agree that we need some justice like that now and then, but it's unrealistic. Why do so many of you think your CHL is a license to kill? I just don't get it...

If someone wanted something of yours, and presented no threat to you in order to get it, why would you give it to them?

Perhaps I left my initial comments too open ended. I would not give them my wallet if they presented no threat, but that's just me. I guess I'm just opening this up for discussion.

Let me clarify first that I have no doubt (zero, zip, nada) that should my life be on the line, I could confidently draw my weapon and use it. However, I have been thinking a lot lately on the scenario of being mugged. If some punk wanted my wallet and did not present a threat to me, I just cannot foresee the need to draw my pistol. My money clip has three forms of ID and a two credit cards. IDs? Those will be in the trash if they don't just get tossed on the street first. The credit cards? Ha! I HOPE that chump tries to use it. Those things will be canceled and flagged stolen before he can even reach the nearest place that would accept them. Thoughts?
