    If you are robbed, remember to be cooperative. Whatever they ask for can be replaced . . . except a life! If you feel TRULY threatened, use your 2d Amendment right and defend yourself to the extent necessary – including taking HIS life! Like the old saying goes – “Better to be judged by twelve than carried by six!”
