You guys are lucky. We've got most of the crime up here! Cop killers and serial killers and rapists LOVE Washington, for some reason.

I don't typically carry unless I am in a questionable location, so any advice would be great!
I think once you open the door to letting peeps walk up on you, put guns and knives in your face...letting them have your wallet...well are you going to let them rape you? Maime you? Knee cap you? Force you into a car, go home to rape the wife? Empty your bank accounts?
For me, when the weapons come out, it's a fight....I'll take my chances that I will drop him, that he doesn't want a murder charge, he will hestitate...run ect....
Exactly. The more you let them walk all over you the more they will.
Of course I am aware of the issues around once you are no longer in mortal danger, you cannot simply draw on them and drop them.
But as they go to leave (or are leaving) and you draw on them, tell them to stop, and they turn and draw/fire, what are the repercussions then?
I'm not advocating shooting anyone in the back, I'm advocating stopping them after the fact until LEO can arrive. And if they try to stop you from stopping them... well then I would think everything is on the table.
I had a death dream last night but it got me thinking...
Say you do not typically carry but you move into a new area and are not 100% sure you are comfortable in the area. So you go take you dog for a walk and decide to carry because who knows what the area is like as its all new. While walking there are (2) males walking towards you and you think nothing of it. Ad they get closer and about 10' away they both pull out guns and demand your wallet and threaten to kill you. What do you do, draw up against two men or hand over your wallet?
Then then again the same suituation but this time only one guy.
In my dream I tried to draw but ended up getting blasted away

Not to derail the thread.. But that's always what happens to me in my dreams. Its like I shoot them and their zombies from resident evil and I keep shooting forever and they don't die. Or the gun doesnt work. Most recently I had a combination of the bullets not working and jamming. Where I shot my shotgun, the shell got stuck, however I loaded it again with the jam, fired, that one got jammed then I loaded again.Also, I hate dreams involving guns. There are two types of gun dreams for me, one is where I get an awesome new gun I always wanted with all the tacticool I could ever want on it and then I wake up and realize I don't actually have it. :< The other is where I have to actually use my gun to defend myself and ALWAYS the gun either jams, breaks, or the bullets are completely ineffective against whatever I am shooting at and I'm all FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Maybe you should start thinking before they are close? My two cents, walk across the street, or up to someone's house & knock on the door. Put distance between the two groups, maybe palm your gun, get the safety off and prepare yourself. Getting caught flatfooted is your first and possibly your last mistake.
First, you should never feel comfortable in ANY area. Second carry a gun everywhere. Third, situational awareness should keep you safe.
Never draw against a drawn gun unless your absolutely positve that your gonna get shot. If you feel the need to draw then yes, move as you draw. Move away and at an angle.
This is one reason why I carry a BUG. A j frame in the jacket pocket with my hand on it gives me an immediate advantage. Hopefully enough of an advantage that I survive the encounter.
