Something to think about!  
After the mugger gets the money he shoots you. I guess the days of “give me all your money and nobody gets hurt” are over. I see it on the real cops T.V. shows as well. On the way out the door a robber shoots the clerk behind the counter just for fun.

I’ve read never to draw on a drawn gun but if it’s typical that the mugger shoots anyway it may be a calculated risk worth taking.
