Kellene reminds us what a concealed handgun license is for.

I sympathize with the victim in many ways: a personal violation, taking of your stuff, being fed up with crime, being fed up with criminals and parasites. I’m hip to it all. But going after someone like this — chasing them down, shooting wildly into the air or ground — isn’t wise and is potentially asking for heap loads of trouble.

In any situation like this you have to ask yourself: is it worth dying for? If it’s not worth dying for, it’s not worth pulling your gun out for. Sure, you could run after these guys and try to get your stuff back, but unless you can answer “yes, this is worth dying for” keep your gun in the holster.
