If that 80 year old woman had been armed, the chances are the pistol would have been carried in her purse.

The mugger came up in back of her, knocked her to the ground with one powerful blow, grabbed her purse and ran to a waiting car. That is how it happened according to all witnesses.

If she had been armed, the mugger would have gotten a gun as part of his loot.
