That won't work. How would we fight our wars and defend ourselves against criminals? I was tought never to point a gun at anything I wasn't willing to destroy.Never point a gun at someone - even if it's empty.
YIKES! The back window of my car was shot out once while driving through LA.My buddy flew to LA to visit friends and relatives. 25 mins after leaving the airport he was shot in a random drive by. Spent like 4-5 weeks in hospital then fled LA asap
An aquaintance of mine was similarly confronted at his pharmacy, but the outcome was different. He pulled his own gun, shot and killed the fellow. 30 some years later he is still messed up. He might of been messed up before that incident, not sure, but seems to have a lot of demons.Closing up shop back when I was night manager at a Subway sandwich restaurant. It was a warm spring night and this guy comes in dressed like it was the middle of winter during a blizzard. The first thing he does is heads for the restroom. He comes back out 10 minutes later and approaches the counter like he wants to order a sandwich. In a very quiet voice he tries to say something to me, but I couldn't hear him and I ask him to repeat him self. He speaks again, and again I can't quite hear him. This time he pulls out a very large hand gun and points it at my head.
At this point I knew exactly what he wanted, and my brain switched over to autopilot. I open the cash drawer and place it on the counter in front of him. I step back and wait for him to take the money. After he has all the money he runs out the door, and screeches away in his vehicle.
We had a silent alarm on hand under the counter, and I had pressed the button numerous times from the moment I saw the gun. After he left I called the police and after reviewing the security tapes I found out that the silent alarm didn't work at all.
I showed up for work the next day and went about my duties much to the surprise of my co-workers who thought I would have for sure quit the next day.
See this is when you should be the most scared. A pro will mug you and know he's not gonna kill you. Some of these kids will just blow your head off and move on like its nothing. I'd much rather get robbed by pro's then amateurs.I was mugged once, but I could see they were amateurs. They looked like they were afraid of their own gun so I wasn't scared. Probably their first armed robbery. Just give them the wallet and watch them run.
