But no you're right. What I'll do if I get mugged is hand over my wallet, my keys, my wife and anything else valuable I may have with me. If im really lucky they may not shoot me anyway. Even better if I wander around looking like a victim then they may pity on me and leave me alone in the first place.

He then went on to say that his wife was a cop and they all used those bags to carry their gun. He was a bit miffed when my husband said he wasn't a cop and wasn't carrying a gun!

One day we were out, no one was around, and then these two guys appeared from nowhere and began approaching us ... my gut instinct told me we were in for trouble. My husband put his hand just inside the bumbag, the guys looked and then turned tail and ran! At that point I figured having a gun in a bumbag wasn't such a bad thing!

Im not sure why people think petty criminals are intelligent beings that pre-plan their attack with great skill and forethought. They dont. Most are acting on impulse and are as scared as the victim. Then of course theres always the smack heads and true psychos, but if one of those attacks you you may as well go down fighting because they wont take your wallet and watch and bid you a good night on your way.
