Got robbed. LOL

LOL first time experience. I got robbed. One guy had gun, flashed it, other didn't. They got my phone, credit card (already cancelled) bank card (already cancelled) and a few bux (40).

I was pretty impressed with my reaction. Zero fear, total calm. If I was packing the gun dude would be dead and I would have had total control of my weapon, total calm means no trembling. I guess I'm good under pressure LOL

Probably happy they din't shoot me anyways, but everything I lost I can get back just fine. Boneheads. Kinda wish I was rollin heavy. I'd have two bodies under my belt. hehehehe

LOL, I learned the technique from my wife - nag the $hit out of someone, and they’ll agree to anything just to get you to shut up.

And, no, wifey doesn’t read FR, otherwise I wouldn’t post this. :>)

Stay well, and thanks for all that you do for this site.

I’m glad you’re okay.

“Zero fear, total calm.”

Yep. Most of that comes from training.

And then there is self preservation.

Hard to shut off the adrenaline afterwards.

Just saw this. Glad you are OK.

Crazy. I think the time for gated only is quickly coming.

I quickly perused the comments but didn't see--what time of day was this?

It’s pretty awesome to realize you have grace under pressure, huh? I’m very happy that you are at peace with the results. That close to home and all... I might find myself more disconcerted.

Never been one for confrontation, myself. But then there was the time my neighbor got handsy w/ his wife in my presence. So for the rest of the weekend I promised her refuge in my home, driving her first thing Monday to the magistrate to swear out a warrant. Several times while waiting out the weekend, terrified he would come knocking, she begged me not to let him in. Sure enough on the Sunday, at a moment when she happened to be in the bathroom, he came knocking.

Cower in my home on my own land like a little mouse? Naw. Stand there talking thru the crack of the door, hoping he’d not shove it open & come on in, thus breaking my promise of protection? Nope.

Chose to lock myself out there with him backed up against the side of the house, chest to chest, glaring the unspoken msg that if you feel like swinging you wife-beating drunk, better make it good cuz then it’s my turn. I wasn’t mad, really. More like resolute, if you know what I mean.

As a woman, I have no silly assumptions about my ability to take on a man, especially one fit from working construction. But I had the sense to retard his potential swing against the house; he was sober by now & maybe just maybe he recognized this former Marine was nothing like the women he’d conned into his life.

Not exactly the same as your sitch, but that self-discovery of a little bad-assery - I always considered myself a coward too - is satisfying. :o)

I carry 2 wallets. Main wallet in 1 pocket and dummy wallet in 2nd pocket.

dummy wallet has those fake paper “Credit cards” that have some generic name, plus a dozen or so $1 bills.

It’s saved me from having to shoot idiots twice. The muggers always flee when they glance in it to see some green cash.

Think of all of the police interviews that I’ve avoided over the years, especially in foreign countries.
