As a cop, I suggest you just hand the monster your wallet. Money and valuables are replaceable. The risk of getting shot over property clearly overshadows the value. Even if the gunshot wound you receive is not fatal, it could change your life dramatically. You can be paralyzed, a major organ damaged, etc.

If someone has a gun drawn on you, unless you are some highly trained individual you are at a serious disadvantage. Even if you can quickly draw your weapon, can you do it at a critical, life threatening time? There is a huge difference in training and in reality.

Several years ago, a cop from a local agency was shopping with his 5 year old daughter at a store. He walked into a robbery in progress. He drew his firearm and engaged the bad guy. Each fired, the robber was fatally shot. However, the cop's 5 year old daughter was shot in the head and killed by the bad guy (probably not the intended target). Is it worth it? Nothing is worth the lives of my kids.

I train in full contact cage fighting, and have trained with some of the best fighters in the UFC, King of the Cage, and MMA. I would hesitate to fight someone while off duty if I were being robbed. This all changes of course if I feel my life or the life of one of my loved ones may be compromised.

Back to the question at hand. I recommend "Freeze Plus P." I have no affiliation, except it is what I can on duty. It is by far the most effective pepper spray I have used in my 16+ year career.

Stay safe, David
