Love to, but I'm in Communist Canada where we disarm our citizens and let the armed criminals roam free.
Edit - And like EyeMWing mentioned, I'd want to be sure I'm better armed and quicker that the guy trying to get my money. Refer to above Communist Canada and ability to only carry a knife. :frown:

Reminds me of merry 'ol England.
At least in England, the criminals are polite.
"Pardon me chap, but could I bother you for a spot of billfold? I need to buy meself some vittles, tea, and crumpets."
"Jolly right there, but why don't you pop down the local penny-shack and skittle some?"
"Bobbies harpin' me chazzwozzers iff'n I doin that."
"Righto."

Your father is incredibly lucky they didnt have any weapons on him. He should have just handed over the money.. only $70. Everything else can be replaced.
You must be TRYING to troll me, I must resist the urge to respond in kind.
Must... resist...

Got a question. Do people (non criminals) actually carry concealed weapons, or is just another big geek fantasy?
This is ATOT - populated almost exclusively by weenies. Personally, I'd be torn as to whether or not I want to see a headless corpse or a criminal calling the cops on himself.
Saying it is very easy. I used to fantasize about such things all the time too. One time a guy grabbed my neck. His hands were so strong around my neck, I couldn't even breath. After that, I stopped fantasizing about beating the crap out of someone who messes with me. Now I just fantasize about women.
My father has a concealed carry for a .45 (he rarely carries it, though) and carries a small knife. I carry a large knife everywhere but school (I'm a minor) and fully intend to get a CCL for a large weapon of my own at a future date.
A lot depends on the state, there are an estimated 500,000 concealed carry permits issued in Oregon & Washington alone.

Your father did what a normal man would do. Its not the money, its the violation
of ones person. To just cave in and give up, I don't know what I would do, because
it hasn't happened to me yet.
For my brisk evening walks, I carry $5 and ID. I'm in the market for a good used hickory cane, just in case.........

you got yourself in the wrong situation, and you handled yourself wrong to allow him to get his hands around your neck.
i dont fantasize. i just know i'll do something rather than nothing. come what may.
I would have pulled out my cards and stuff that I needed and stuck them in my pocket, shown them I had cash in my wallet, thrown my wallet away from me, and taken off in the opposite direction. If they want my wallet, they can have it. If they want me at that point instead, they'll get a fight.
YEah, I got in the wrong situation. I just wasn't looking around like a deragned paranoid lunatic to know who was approaching me. Next time, I will have my super duper secret ninja sense guide me.
I don't believe it was about the $70 dollars in his pocket, but the fact that he was being violated that gave him the courage to fight back. A few bruises won't hurt much but someone rips your dignity does. And yes we are very greatful that he was lucky. But in no way I myself would of given them my wallet even if there was nothing in it. F**K THAT!
