	This is where the art of armchair generalship shines. Who is
to know that if the armed robbers had been left alone, whether they
would have just taken a bunch of money and left, to be apprehended
later? Who is to know if the guy with the license to carry might have
provoked a losing firefight and gotten several innocent people killed?

	I'd rather lose my wallet and have to cancel my credit cards
than to have some self-appointed saviour pull a gun in my behalf and
hurt someone. That's just money. Granted, if the attacker is intent on
injuring, raping, killing the victim, it's another story - but I don't
really feel comfortable knowing that someone might play Clint Eastwood
on my behalf without asking me first.
