The one time I was mugged i got sucker punched from behind right behind the jaw. I went down like a load of bricks and it was a full 3 to 5 seconds before I even knew what was happening. By the time I had my wits back 4 guys had me pinned, beating me up, and going through my pockets. I could have had pistols in both hands and it wouldn’t have made any difference.

I think there’s a place for concealed carry but I doubt it helps much with the kinds of ambush attacks joggers see.

(I was skateboarding in Deep Ellum (neighborhood in Dallas TX) when I was mugged)
