(33,643 posts)If I went to buy a washing machine or whatever, and dude pulled a gun on me and said 'give me all your money' ... I give the dude my friggin' money and whatever else he wants ... I'm not going to get into a gunfight and risk shooting somebody (or getting shot) over that kind of money.
And likewise if I was doing a deal for an amount I'd really be concerned with losing, I'm bringing a few friends, or meeting to do the deal somewhere public. I'm not going in strapped like I'm buying 20 keys of Heisenberg Blue or some shit.
The idea of taking a gun to do some small time purchase sounds ludicrous to me, no offense. You're not gonna walk in with the gun pulled, so you're automatically at a tactical disadvantage from word go. All you're likely to do ... is get your gun stolen as well as your money.
TBH, I think the very fact that one OWNS a gun ... makes them feel like they NEED a gun.
