It seems to me that when you talk to people, the ones who carry guns are more likely to say that they have been in situations where they needed it than those who didn't. Kind of like those who like to fight get into fights.
I was mugged once while delivering pizzas. They called up, sent me to an empty apartment and when I was walking out a guy walked towards me said "my friend is in the van behind you and has a rifle pointed at you" Would a gun have helped? Probably not. If someone tells you that their friend (who you cannot see because he's behind you) has a rifle pointed at you, you need to act like its true. There would be no possible way to draw a weapon and kill both of them before they could kill you.
He was probably bluffing because what are the chances that two people are prepared to commit murder over an unspecified amount of money between $20-200? Stranget things have happened though. There would have been one way to find out and in the end one of us would have been dead.
