Only one had a gun, that I had any knowledge of. He was robbed at gunpoint, knocked down--then shot the thief in the back as he was running off. If I recall the story correctly, he didn't stick around to find out how much damage was inflicted.
I really do think it's great that you have increased situational awareness. One of my friends does indeed exist in "Condition White," despite being robbed twice (I want to shake her sometimes). But as for the others...well, one guy, who I know is very streetwise, was walking down a main street in the middle of the afternoon, when suddenly he was grabbed from behind and had a gun shoved against his temple. He got out of it alive by calmly asking the attacker not to shoot him, and handing him his watch off his wrist. He couldn't move otherwise, and that was all he could do. I really don't know if he carried a gun or not (somehow it wouldn't surprise me if he did), but in that situation, it was a non-issue.
