Every time the young stick-up man tugged at my companion’s purse with his left hand, she would pull back, causing the muzzle of the pistol he held in his right hand to swing back and forth.
My, isn't our writer brave! He threw his billfold at the crook. I'm sure that'll discourage the guy from pulling another strong-arm robbery. If this ever happens again, and I hope it never does, try growing a set of cojones and help that person; don't just be an ostrich, sticking your head in the sand and hoping it'll all go away. And yes, I've been in dangerous situations, and yes, I've had to resort to force of arms -- not something one does lightly. These situations are fraught with moral and legal problems. But I didn't just throw my lunch money at the school bully and run, which is what this situation resembled.
