| 28. That should not be solace |

Most armed robbers take cash, and MAYBE cause physical violence, but rarely kill
If they have the gun, they ASSUME (a false assumption btw) they have the uppper hand
The reality is that this is America, and many folks here have guns
But what the gun owner does is of prime importance here
Should they kill, or just wound the assailant?
