I realize some comments meant to be playful but here's a true story. My sister-in-law worked in a DEA office and even though nothing required her to carry the agents were adamant in furnishing her a pistol and training her. One night as she was unlocking her car in a dark parking lot a man appeared out of no where and commanded her to get in and slide to the passenger side. When she turned to face him he told her he had a knife and would cut her if she didn't do as he says. In the motion of turning she was taking her pistol from her custom designed purse in one motion placing it in his face,bracing against car and shoving him away saying "never take a knife to a gunfight you sob,on your knees NOW!". She shouted for someone to call 911 and report law enforcement officer in need of assistance. The man was arrested, jailed, and sent back to prison on parole violation for aggravated assault and rape conviction. Her and my brother passed long ago but the memory is fresh and I still offer prayer of thanks for guardian angles sent to watch over her.
In staying with humors nature of thread , acquaintances that joined bystanders said the piece of crap excuse for man was whimpering and begging while waiting for and being placed in squad car. Agent over her office was pi$$ed she didn't squeeze the trigger and promised if it ever happened she wouldn't even need to hire a lawyer in the aftermath.
