I couldn't agree more. When you compare the outcome of the above two stories to this one: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22966597/, what becomes apparent is that the survivors of the first two incidents fought back. The five women in Chicago went docilely to their deaths, yet they outnumbered the BGs 5 to 2.seamusTX wrote:Fighting like your life was on the line might be a good idea. I dunno.

Barber shops and hairdressers are prime robbery targets because they take in a lot of cash. I'm surprised they are not robbed more often than they are. Women are more vulnerable to kidnapping and rape. Some criminals seem to want to kill just for the sake of doing evil.

I'm not advocating that we do anything reckless, and only the person in the actual situation can have a realistic appraisal of the possible; but sometimes the reckless thing is meek acquiescence. There are two important points of view to have, particularly if you have a CHL, in order to survive these kinds of things: 1) refuse to be a victim; and 2) have enough of a warrior spirit to accept that you might get hurt or killed if you fight back, and that not fighting back is no guarantee that you still won't be hurt or killed.
A good idea is to have a "throw down" wallet. Always carry your gun on your body.
