Sure - if a guy pulls a gun on you, you shit your pants (maybe not literally, but hey) you give him your wallet, your watch etc and you get on with your life. So you lost some posessions? Get over it.

If you then pull out a gun, shoot him in the back, he's still alive, shooting match begins, you him or both get killed - or innocent bystanders.... seems like life is cheap all of sudden.

Also, in what state is it legal to walk around with a gun on your person (only because i'm not american)
