Yes, you understand my opinion. I'm very reluctant to question the violent reaction of anyone being mugged (although Bernard Goetz presented an extreme case that I
do question). My point is simply about what your best move for survival is.
I concede that every situation is different, and you need to judge your best move carefully. Still, if survival is your goal, I think you should have a very heavy predisposition to hand over your wallet to someone who demands it, assuming they have a gun/knife pointed in your direction.
