I understand that it can deter a lot of criminals, but if you live in an area where this happens regularly you will eventually run in to the wrong guy who will hurt you.

Anyway, so this guy just randomly chose you from a shopping crowd to pull both his gun and knife on for no reason?

It was in the parking lot and there was no one else out there. First he pulled a knife and I quickly grabbed his hand that was holding it. Then with his free hand he went for the gun. At that point I said fuck it and gave the asshole my $40 from my pocket.

Also, I have pulled a gun on someone with the intention of shooting it and afterward I asked the cops if I would have gone to jail and they said hell no I would not have.
