Advice or survival - consider every gun waved at you real, loaded, and ready to kill you.

It's just a wallet and possessions - nothing worth your life.
That's exactly what the police are saying!


brucelee thanks for posting that pic, if I were ever in a situation and if I can snap out of a shock and look at the "gun" and notice the barrell, it's just good to know!

Yeah, I'll be my life on it... Not my spouses however.


Even if its a real gun, I doubt the idiot teens could even hit you from 5 feet away. Especially if they hold the gun like a gansta... There's no way they are hitting ANYTHING!


I wouldn't do anything even if I knew it was airsoft, but I def would be more calm and not as scared like as if it were a real gun.

NP, and its really easy to spot... Its not difficult to see at all since it almost sticks out of the barrel and its brass colored.

On another note:

Another friend of mine went back to his car to change after playing soccer after church one Sunday. Two guys came up to him and his buddy, one of the guys had my friend Jack(typical Asian guy, looking pretty harmless) at gun point, pointing directly on his head demanding the keys to his car. Without thinking Jack grabs the guys wrist points it down and away from him, and with the other hand grabs the dudes head and slams it into his knees repeatedly. Let's just say these robbers were shocked!

Note: Jack was a Navy SEAL in Korea, and trained with American Navy SEAL's.

Carry a 'dummy' wallet with a lil bit of cash in it and like, an autozone card, or expired credit card, or the lame one you get with a "credit opportunity". And a note that says "Owned". Give that one up with the iPod and 90% of the time you'll be fine. If the guys are gonna beat you down to take your stuff, it'll happen in a sneak attack from the getgo, rather than them walking up and sayin "break yo self fool".

OK you HAVE to be retarded to even consider risking your life for your wallet. Even if is "just" a knife or bb gun. You do ont know who that other person is. No matter how much training you have there is always a chance you will lose your life. You may think you are He-Man and the master of the universe but it is a sad reality that you are not. Do not let your ego end your life.
