Said perfectly good Sir!
I as well spent a working life of hard labor to have the modest possessions I spent hours, days, weeks, months and years to claim as MINE.
All those years broke my body down and in doing so, I will pay the price for what I have until I am gone. Someone thinking that my stuff will become their stuff without that investment…nope.
Comes down to a choice. You pays yer nickel and takes yer chances. Make it quick. 
I agree with you, @Robert1246 but drawing on a drawn weapon is a no win situation even if you shoot first depending on the person you could get shot as well and if they just wanted the car let them have it insurance will take care of it right.
A distraction or the person turning his back on you would present an opportunity to shoot, but if you shoot them in the back wouldn’t there be a conflict with law enforcement or do you draw and wait for them to turn back around
Any kind of distraction could create an opportunity take the chance
There would not be a conflict with law-enforcement unless they were trying to run away. I wouldn’t shoot them unless I thought they were going to shoot me.
Thanks for that, @Robert1246 and I saw another article in concealed carry mag.about a lady that got broke into and able to shoot the burglar with a .22 derringer that was a great shot considering the distance from the burglar and he turned his back to her which presented opportunity for the lady to shoot considering what the burglar was armed with.
This 67 year old pedophile draws on cops at a sting operation, but gets a nasty surprise. Sometimes, it’s best to draw on a drawn weapon (Click on the twitter link):
Only if one has full coverage insurance (which includes theft coverage). That sort of policy can be beyond many people’s budgets, particularly expensive in high crime areas; the more you may need it, the more it costs.
I see what you mean thanks @David38
I LOVE Happy Endings!
(did that twitch try to BITE the Cops!)
Say hey to OJ when you see him!
That cop fully understands open hand vs armed combat!
Perp was pulling something from his coat, (gun) and before he could get it fully out, the officer closed the distance and took control of the weapon.
Seems like the first shot heard was likely the perps weapon, it’s impossible to tell where the muzzle was pointed at the time, but the way the officer was handling things it was likely pointing towards the perp himself, or the floor to the officers right.
There was a huge crossfire with several shots at nearly point blank range, but all officers were creating space as they shot.
Looked like one officer was hit in the leg? By who’s bullet?
Lots of things went very right there, unlike the video of the knife wielding trespasser.
What if they ordered door dash?
WHAT ???
Agree it is not necessarily a loosing proposition but it is a significant disadvantage. I would want to wait for or create a distraction that preferably gets the muzzle pointed away from me before I would consider drawing.
If the person was within arms reach and I could get the muzzle pointed away from me for a moment I might consider grabbing their weapon instead of going for my own since I have had some training in this and could grab their firearm quicker than I could draw. Then I would have the advantage of controlling where their firearm is pointed while I physically attack and try get it away from them.
Either way the odds of getting shot are significantly greater than 0%. If I felt beyond a reasonable doubt that the odds of giving them what they asked for were better than me trying to regain the initiative to make my own move I would consider it. That could mean tossing what they asked for at their feet and running the opposite way might be the better option under certain scenarios. Once the bad guy has initiative I would want to see which option they open up to me and act on it ASAP.
This is exactly what the cop in the video of the pedo sting did.
It is not something I would want to try without solid training and practice first. Especially if the muzzle is already pointed at me. I have to get my body out of the way while simultaneously making the grab which is tricky to get the timing just right on. Then keeping the muzzle pointed away during the struggle can be a challenge as well.
It is a little easier though if you see someone reaching for a handgun and can get your hands on it and/or their wrists before they can get it out of their holster or waistband.
Either way, even with good training and practice, the odds are probably 50/50. Unless you can take advantage of a distraction or create one to get the muzzle pointed away before making a move.
In the video, you can see the perp reach into his jacket, and had only begun to draw before the officer closed the distance and took relative control of the gun (some semblance of muzzle direction, even if not the trigger)
I had multiple sensei teach me to attack the weapon if I was empty handed.
Control of the weapon is control of the fight.
You’re correct though, if the perp has the full drop on you and already has the gun pointed finger on the trigger ready to fire, your life is basically over.
Disarming or controlling the weapon in that situation is definitely not something that someone with zero training would likely be able to accomplish.
Guns are a powerful equalizer at range.
Nothing Wick or Woo about it.
