And a piece of crap that holds you up, is not going to turn and run giving you time to reach for your piece. He is likely to pistol whip you unconscious so you don't follow him or pull your piece.
And God forbid that he finds your gun a takes that too.
Best situation is to not put yourself in that mess. I am not a cop, and while I respect them and have many as friends, they are not going to run to catch the perp that ran off with your gun.

TRF isn't exactly gun friendly so this will be my last reply regarding the subject. Congrats on the self defense class, that's not a suitable sub for a good carry gun in my book though. Maybe I'm just jaded from too many trips to the sandbox but I like to have a defensive tool available should the need arise & hopefully it never will. If I was Steven Segal maybe I wouldn't care as much, lol.
