When he comes to you with a weapon and wants your money, he's sending the message that he's GOING to kill you for $50. I don't kill him because I want to keep the money, I would kill him because he's a very real threat to my life, and my life is worth more than his considering I've just met him and didn't like my first impression of him. I know that it's probably not even 50% of the time where it's they're actually going to take your life if they can't take your wallet, but when they point a gun to you, that's the message they send and you shouldn't respond any other way.
I'm not going to lie: You point a gun at me, I'll give you anything you damn well want without a peep, but when muggers end up dead on the ground they've got no sympathy for losing a dangerous game they chose to play.
