    Armed Robbery

    So, around 9pm on Wednesday night after a hard day at work I decided to run to the corner shop for a bottle of wine and pack of cigarettes so I could enjoy a quiet night at home.

    Arrive at the shop (which is like a minute walk for my house) and hear shouting form inside, think nothing of it. Push open the door and Oh My God, 3 guys dressed in black, with a gun. They see me in the door and tell me to move over into the shop, so obviously I do. Then they ask me what phone I had, fortunately I didn't have it on me so told them that, thank god I didn't have it with me or I might have panicked or cried or both as I have no insurance on my phone.

    To cut a long story short, a minute later they leave with a hand full of money, and then 15 minutes after that the police arrive. I get asked to explain what happened 3 times and then have to go to the police station to make a statement. Of course I couldn't really tell the police much about the guys as I was busy watching which direction the gun was pointing! How am I supposed to know what brand of trainers they were wearing, sorry man.

    Now I’m just slightly worried about walking around the area at night incase the people who did it live or hang around in the area. Paranoid I know, but they had a gun and there are a lot of dark alleyways around where I live.

      Yikes, sorry you had to go through that...

      It's never a good idea to walk alone in alleyways at night (especially if you're female), but it depends on where you live. If you live in a city or somewhere else with a high crime rate, you probably shouldn't do it at all. If not but you still feel a little worried, try going with a big Mag-Light flashlight. It'd light up the place and could serve as a weapon if needed... someone is unlikely to attack you if you have that. You might also want to walk with at least one other person, if you can.

      The city my university is in has a really high crime rate... I've heard gunshots from my dorm, and even a few students have been involved in muggings and the like already this semester. =X It's dangerous to walk anywhere that isn't well-lit, even if it's not that late... someone got robbed at gunpoint as early as 7 PM.

        Yeah, America or UK, it all seems to happen about the same way.

        (Except maybe in America, people are more prone to attack shoplifters.)

            Wow, that must have been scary as hell. This just gives you a reason to carry a self defense weapon now .

                  Man I would be freaking out. I would have probably screamed and ran out of the shop. Then they would have shot me. But, I might have just left If I heard screaming, no offense, but I'm not a very nosy person.

                    You didn't have an assault rifle on you to blast those mofos? Shame on you, I don't leave home without mine. I get a lot of, "Is that an assault rifle in your pants, or are you just happy to see me? ...Oh."

                      Sounds like the beginning of some joke.... 3 guys walk into a convience store to rob the cashier and the first says to the second...... (I'm not clever enough to make it into an actual joke.)

                      Joking aside however, I would have feared my life and I don't know what I would have done.
