Sorry about starting a thread drift.
I have been the victim of one violent crime. I was 17 in 1983 when I was mugged by two guys. It was dark and I never even saw their faces. They both quickly opened the doors of the truck I was sitting in, slammed my face down into the seat next to me, beat the shit out of me for a minute or two, then took my wallet and ran. If I had been carrying a gun with me, or had one in the glove compartment, they would have taken it too.
