Let's study this for a moment. If the victim had been an armed CH licensee (you) standing and waiting on his clean ride, what would have happened? I didn't say "could" or "should", I asked "would"

Who's first?

Having been in a similar situation - looking down the barrel of a SS SW .357 (believe me it was) = give him the wallet. In my case he also got my wife's purse and then as an after thought wanted the keys to our car. It just so happened that on that very night, which was the bloodiest weekend in Houston's history (1990) a very prominent owner of a Houston paint company was robbed and shot...... at a car wash.

So have criminals watched enough movies now that they cock their weapon in front of the victim to show their serious.

What was it the movie "Date Night" where the gang member then turns his wrist 45 degrees to really show he was going to shoot.

Give him my wallet and shoot him (as many times as I can before he falls down) as he turns to leave. :fire

He was washing a car during the worst drought in Texas in many of our lifetimes. :mad5
I believe the basic political division in this country is not between liberals and conservatives but between those who believe that they should have a say in the personal lives of strangers and those who do not.

And since I never wash my car, it balances out ;-)

I keep washing my car hoping it will cause it to rain. And if it doesn't, at least it doesn't get dirty again quickly.
