I have never been robbed or mugged, and if I ever am, I probably wouldn't be carrying around a shotgun or a letter opener, and I doubt if the guy who is robbing you will let you have a choice.

i certainly have


Sure you have.

in a situation like that have you ever made the wrong choice


Most people are not walking around with a shotgun and a letter opener for self defense purposes. In a situation like that, it is best to give the guy whatever he wants, or let him take whatever he wants. Let the police deal with it.

Also, I don't recommend trolling... You can get banned for that.

If I had a 0 gauge shotgun, I would use it if I was being robbed, though only an idiot would try to rob someone carrying a shotgun. It would depend what the other guy has if I just had a letter opener. In most situations, I wouldn't use it, but in some, I'd be very sneaky about it.

As far as trolling goes, learn the internet, xeano321.

Josh we both remember the time we fought off that wolf pack with a 2 inch letter opener and a can of artichokes so I feel that the 3 inch might be overkill.

I've never made this type of wrong decision, but I did once choose to set my pants on fire because I was cold.

The title of this thread needs to be revised a bit.

questionable choices when being robbed of punctuation


That's better.

Which is what makes it so easy for muggers to do their job these days. You're practically asking to be mugged if you aren't carrying at least one of those things.

Well, here's a tip: Don't take out a gun in a fight at close quarters, you'll lose it and get shot yourself. Almost happened to me, but i had a second gun, which was my more trusty revolver.

If someone sees you walking through a park with a shotgun under your arm, they are probably going to call the police, and you will get in trouble for having it with you while in a park. Also, I fail to see as to how a three inch letter opener is going to effective against a guy holding a handgun on you.

Why in both cases did the muggers sound uneducated?

All the educated muggers work for the banks now. They know that they can't get into any real trouble no matter how much of your money they steal.

If someone is holding a weapon and they rob you, how crazy do they have to be to kill you over a couple dollars? If I was a robber, it wouldn't be worth years of imprisonment to kill someone for a little bit of money.
