Mugger has a weapon and the drop on you.

How much are you willing to part with?

Your money?
Your wedding ring?
Your wife’s jewelry?
Your car keys?
What if he wants to cop a feel on your wife/girlfriend?

Here’s my view: I won’t give up anything, under any conditions.  If I have a penny in my pocket and the mugger wants that penny, he’ll have to kill me for it.  Either you’re a victim or you’re not.

I do not to profess to be a tough guy (nor did I or would I sleep at a *whatever* Inn last night) but, I have been in the middle of two armed hold-ups. I lost nothing either time and I do carry several k at any given time.

If he was armed & I wasn't,...he would have everyting I could give him. If he had a bunch of support, like 4 friends, there really wouldn't be any choice, unless they got physical, & I knew they were out for my life, run & dodge like hell!

If my son or other family member was with me, I would die trying to defend them if need be.

This is the reason I don't ever want to live in a state that doesn't allow me to CC legally.

I have often debated with myself CC outside of the law if I visited back to WI, or if forced to live somewhere less free than TEXAS.

I lost a baseball cap once under the same conditions in TX.  I was 13 and unarmed, an apparently dangerous combination.  It is not fun being a victim.

I don't carry much cash and my only piece of jewelry can be replaced at Kmart for 30 bucks.  If his gun is already pointed at me I doubt I'd be willing to try to outdraw his trigger finger.  One thing I wouldn't allow to happen without a fight is for him to take my gun.  I'd risk a gun fight where I might take the first slug before I'd let myself be disarmed by some unknown criminal.

I'll donate a couple of Ranger T's.   Actually, if he "has the drop on me"  the worst place for him to be from my perspective is about 5-8 feet away.  If he is 3 feet away, a team of surgeons will be needed to take his gat out of his ass.  Yes, if I can grab it, it's gone:  I know because I've done it.   If he's 10 feet or more away, I'll hit cover and drop his ass, just to remove some garbage.

Put your money where your mouth is, big guy.  Find a LEO friend or someone with access to Simunition or go and buy some cheap ass Eagle paintball guns from Wally World.  Videotape you outdrawing your friend and shooting him before he gets a shot off and then I'll believe that you could survive this situation.  Until then its all conjecture, and bad conjecture at that.


ETA: The Department of Transportation, Federal Aviation Administration, Civil Aeromedical institute Physiological Operations, has concluded that the sum of brain perception, brain lag, and reaction time is at a bare minimum, 0.6 to 1.0 seconds.  How long does it take you to empty a clip at the range?

Why would you load off a clip in that situation,  You shootin an SKS there buddy?  There are lots of factors you aren't thinking of.  Shooting and moving, shock value at them seeing your gun etc etc etc.  So many robberies end up as homicides anyway, it's your only chance of taking control, and control is what will keep you from becoming a statistic.

Things don't happen in a vacuum.  Condescending and falsely authoritative though your post is, it fails to explain what correlation is to be expected between a situation involving a person who has already decided to shoot a known nonlethal projectile at a familiar target upon a prearranged and fully anticipated signal under distraction-free conditions, and a situation involving a stranger with a better than 50% chance of chemical impairment engaged in an activity premised on the assumptions that the victim is unarmed, presents no threat, and will comply with instructions.*

I completly agree with you, but there seem to be a few serious people here who think they'd be able to get to their gun and get off a shot before someone else would and that people who don't even try are somehow less manly.  I've got a feeling that robberies end up as homocides when someone with more "balls" than brains decide that they're John Wayne and that the weekends at the range somehow transition perfectly to a real world situation.  
The reaction time was in reference to some hopped up junkie who is already operating with supercharged synapses deciding he doesn't like the way his "victim" is moving his hands and decides to unload a clip into him, just to be safe.
