"Sorry to hear that you have to deal with stuff like that. I understand your position. I guess that’s where we are apart. I don’t believe any of my cars or my wallet is worth someone’s life. And there is a good chance by pulling a gun, things can turn from bad to worse. I totally believe in protecting your home and family but taking lethal weapon to public places is where I disagree with. Anyways, enough chant from me."

In a drive up ATM robbery a few weeks ago in my area, the woman was forced into her trunk at gunpoint and driven around for hours. The vehicle was left with her in the trunk, lucky for her the police got a missing person report, saw vehicle and let her out.

My position on "not worth" having a gun because things can go from bad to worse was changed when I was approached at an ATM at the mall in Westchester, NY. Four people approached as the ATM dispensed money, 3 with knives. Had no escape from the situation and money was demanded, lifting my jacket to show the Beretta 92FS ended the situation (there had been numerous car break-in robberies at the mall, only had the gun on me because I didn't want it stolen from my vehicle, I was at the range prior to the mall).

Only a fool will assume that a person confronting/robbing them while armed will leave them alive at the end of the altercation.
