So I got mugged at gunpoint this evening...

I’m glad you’re okay. It’s incredibly scary and disruptive both to your regular routine and sense of security.

I got mugged at gunpoint a few years ago. Luckily, I was carrying my own, got the drop on him without having to fire and held him until the police showed up. Looking back, what strikes me as funny was I kept telling the dispatcher to make sure the cops knew the guy standing up with the gun was the victim. I didn’t recall doing it, but apparently I said it four times during our two minute call.

I’ve taught self protection seminars and researched muggings and other violent crime for 20 years, and the one thing I’ve discovered is every single one is different.

Ok, bend over. (swishes cane)

What? This isn’t the bdsm thread? Nevermind, then

Glad you’re OK. Had it been me, in the mood I’ve been in the last couple of days, I probably woulda hit the guy and gotten shot. Then again, if I got shot, I wouldn’t have to finish the $#%@! brief I’m working on.

Hmmmm…Here, Robber-guy–c’mon boy. I got all this nice money you can take…

Ahh, with my luck, I’d get a wimpy robber, so when I hit him, he’ll drop the gun, I’ll grab it, cops will come to take him away, and I’ll still have to do the brief. BAH!
