Once I was with a friend and a homeless person pointed gun at us and asked us for all our belongings.

Now my friend who has rage issue and is also a football player, kicked so fast and hard at his wrist the gun was nowhere to be seen.

Now, i am neither martial artist nor a football player, i could barely see him kicking but he was ready to punch his face now since the gun was out of the equation.

If it was just me, I would have gave up everything and went home.

When somebody points a gun at you and asks for your stuff, giving them anything they want is usually the best decision, no matter how much martial arts you know.
How much "belongings" do you carry on you anyway? Probably something around 1000$. Not worth risking my life for that, by trying to overwhelm some crazy person.
