That is not smart, that is murder. Once your life is no longer in danger, you may no longer shoot him.Originally posted by: v3rrv3

Precisely why I want a concealed carry permit.
Glad to hear you're not hurt, but an even better ending would be you not hurt & the would be mugger dead.

You just gotta be smartDon't ask him if he wants the gun, give him the wallet. Wait till he starts to run away, then shoot him

That was the point. Gun in the back and your chances are low of getting off a kill shot. Hand him the wallet and hope for the best. If his first choice was to kill you, he wouldn't be asking for a wallet, he would be searching your body for a wallet.Originally posted by: Millennium
If you have a subcompact pistol in the small of your back how does the guy know you aren't getting it out?Originally posted by: Squisher
Even if you had a gun on your person my advise would be to give him the wallet.
Unless you have the gun already drawn your best bet is to just hand it over.
If you have a gun drawn you better be willing to lay that guy in the shade as soon as you feel an imminent danger. No trying to get him to back down.
Some might tell you to have a small secondary wad of cash to throw past the dude and when he turns to retrieve it make a hasty get away.
Umm... if you act as if you are reaching for your wallet he is automatically at ease. Then you just cap him.Originally posted by: Squisher

I'm all for conceal carry, but there is a time to hold'em and a time to show'em.

So you didn't have a hot dog to point back at him and demand he leave?

Just wait until he bends down to pick up the wallet that you tossed or wait until he turns to run, then cap himOriginally posted by: Squisher

Totally uncontrollable gun society? Ask your average criminal if he's going to break into a house he knows has a competent firearm owner inside.Originally posted by: Richdog

Taser is by far the best means of self defence if you can get a clear shot, there no becoming immune to it and it renders someone instantly inoperable, with the added bonus of being non-lethal! Of course the advantage of living in the UK though is that the chances of a mugger having a gun are about 1000-1, whereas American gun laws have created a wild and totally uncontrollabe gun society where even the lowliest bum can be lethally armed. :disgust:
