Here you go DU, one of those good guy with a gun stories. Sarcasm warning.

36. The NRA and I parted ways after Sandy Hook

They were gifted an opportunity to take the lead on responsible gun ownership and rejecting gun violence. Instead of becoming the top organization in promoting gun related rights and control (at the same time!) they spouted nonsense.

IMO the biggest mistake the victim made was one far too common in our modern world- lack of situational awareness. He was oblivious to the threat until he was far behind the curve. At that point it may have been better to give up the wallet.

Personally I have faced two robbery attempts. Neither assailant displayed a weapon and both times i was armed. However since I saw the situations developing i was able to use de-escalation before all options were removed. In neither case did I give them anything nor were they aware they were facing an armed victim. A gun is always the LAST resort when everything else has gone to shit; the best option is to never reach that point.
