If you were held up at gunpoint...

Question

If you were held up at gunpoint and you happened to have mace with you, would you risk spraying them with the mace or give the robber your money?

BTW, I didn't know where to put this, yahoo suggested it be put here.

Answer 1

I've seen a few guys on Cops shake off a pepper spray blast to the face. I'd rather not take my chances, so I'd just give them the money. Now a tazer.... maybe.  

Answer 2

Id rather give the guy my money then risk that little push of the trigger finger. Even if i did hit him in the eyes, Im sure he would still of pulled the trigger. If it was a life or death situation, like, some guy is going to shoot my kid, then I would definatly try the mace.

Answer 3

No, it will just make them mad and gun could go off. I would fight if i knew i have no choice and they were going to kill me anyway! I make sure they catch the b*****d threw DNA!

Answer 4

we all have ideal ansa, some of us are trained in these types situations and most are not so our instinct would kick in. that being said, i sure our response would be based on how crazy the robber was, money can be replace but we can not, no need 2 b a hero.

Answer 5

Hard to say without knowing more details about the situation.

Best to be safe and hand over the cash, if they started to get violent, then for sure I would fight back with whatever I had.

Answer 6

Most people who hold you at gun point are chicken s****. Who would just hit you with the gun, but never pull the trigger. But to play it safe i'd just let them take what they want. Where I live a usually don't go anywhere unless I'm with my brother, dad, or mom and they all carry guns so....I really don't worry.

Answer 7

I think I would hand over the money,my life is worth much more than the few notes that I carry around with me.

If you go to "Government and Politics" then click on "Law enforcement and Police" you may get an alternative category that would help but,this category seems to be ok.

Answer 8

Give them what they want. but get a REAL good look ath them, Details to tell the police later.

Answer 9

Give them the money...the best way is to throw your bag or wallet away from them. Generally they will go after that if its money they want. As soon as you throw it run a away in a zigzag pattern harder to hit if they shoot at you. The mace in thier face may confuse them and cause them to pull the trigger at point blank range you dont have much of a chance.
