    Thank you for this. People who want to carry guns in case of a
    robbery should do some self-examination and ask themselves if they
    can really end a life without hesitation or remorse. To have a gun
    and pull it, if you are not fully prepared to end a life, is just not
    prudent- your drawing could escalate the situation, and your
    hesitation could get you killed, possibly with your own gun. 

    The first "move" my sensei taught me, years ago, is the slow draw of
    the wallet from the back pocket followed by the gracious handover of
    the wallet to the guy with the gun. Cash, gold and diamonds are
    replaceable, whereas death, unlike diamonds, really IS forever,
    according to most medical experts.
