I just looked at the clip. Is a robber really going to grab you in that way? Chances are the robber would grab the cash and take off running or jump in a waiting car. Be aware of surroundings at all times. If the robber did grab the cash, take off running and you pulled your Glock, took aim, and fired 3 shots into his "10" zone, you would be in very deep dog doo. Your life or another was not in imminent danger at that point. Ka-ching says your lawyer! You have just lost everything you worked for all your life.
I really don't concern myself with that because I am fully aware of my surroundings at all times; 25 yrs. as a LEO will make you be that way. So, in essence, the subject will never get a chance to grab anything - myself, my wife or our money - because he will be disabled. BTW, I am also a 2nd degree Black Belt in Taekwondo; the weapons are only if they decide to not fight fair.
