Debate we will. I look forward to meeting you.

[JonoUNC89]

Good medicine but tough to swallow, especially deescalation. One thought about just giving the mugger your wallet - this could possibly bolster the bad guy's confidence almost guaranteeing there will be another victim.

Great and very level-headed advice...

[hellstorm702]

I understand your point Mr. Yeager, but wow that takes alot.

good advice here... i subscribed

[Watcher3223]

Good advice, reinforcing the notion that lethal force is last resort only.

Depending on the situation, it may be better to give a mugger what he wants unless the mugger presents details in the conflict suggesting that your life is in jeopardy, such as if the mugger is forcing you to go to a secluded location. It's a matter of judgment.

Unfortunately, ego can get in the way of wisdom or, to put it in a crude context, a man can get into trouble when he thinks with his balls more than his brain.

Good advise thanks.

I am unsure where you get your vast knowledge of criminals but they aren't robbing and stealing for food. They are out there doing evil things for drugs.

[CrystalHunter1989]

Depends on the criminal. Most robbers won't do anything other than what it takes to get food for themselves that week. Killing wouldn't help most of the time. I've heard the "throw over the shoulder" method recommended a lot. Throw your wallet behind the crook (if you can). If he goes after it, you run the other way. If he keeps coming towards you, get ready for a fight. But don't take my word on it.

I should make it clear my disagreement with a particular statement is, quite possibly, a misunderstanding of intent. In fact, the advice on the XS Big Dot sights was so good, that after I got mine, I convinced my chief to purchase them for the rest of the department come the new budget year. If my schedule ever permits it I would love to train in Tennesse with Mr. Yeager and his training cadre. Just a disagreement on a minor point...but that's why Baskin Robbins has so many flavors! RESPECT!
