| 92. Yep, but when they are that close - odds of surviving are better without trying to draw your gun. |
|
They didn't go to the trouble of covering themselves if they intended on shooting you for handing over the money. Now, you make a feeble attempt to draw your gun, and you aren't likely to make it . . . . . .even if you try what on gunner suggested, the ole "dodge and shoot" trick.
You are fooling yourself if you think your gun is going to save you in the situation depicted in your photos. You've shown those several times before, so you must collect stuff like that? I'd lay off it awhile.
