That's a bad idea anywhere.  I watched my nephew doing that at his house and he walked into a table, got overbalanced, overcorrected and promptly went a** over teacup.  Never dropped the phone, though.   

Why didn't he use the shotgun to get his cell phone back? Then he'd have had both a shotgun AND his phone? I'd call that a win-win. Hell he could have taken the whip too.

Win trifecta?

Hat trick win...

Can you imagine the robbers would probably call the police then

"Man we tried to rob this white ass honky and he took our gun then he took the phone and then he stole our car!"
NOPD- 

If you could pull that off I wonder if you could convince a judge to let you keep the shotgun and car.

Firearms are ranged weapons...so use them at a range longer than your opponent's arms. It's still pretty hard to miss from 5 feet away.

Also, if you just tried to rob a guy who isn't afraid to fight a man with a gun, and then gave him your LOADED gun, would you go back and give him another chance to shoot you?

Some of these rocket scientists call the cops when they get cheated in a drug deal or another choir boy steals their drugs, etc...a goodly portion of criminals are caught because they have an IQ slightly above room temperature.

That should be the punishment for ALL robbery.
PUBLIC Asswhooping!
Make it legal to bet on how long the punks last getting their asses handed to them by the chosen delegates of the people they robbed.
So who would be on your short list of asskickers to have at your  request to kick some ass?

Jet Li
Chow Yun Phat
Ronnie "Rotten" Vandermotten (My old Tae Kwon Do Master)
Hell, I'd do it myself!
Legal asskicking...oh yeah!
Did I mention they get to have their hands and legs cuffed to a pole, you can't hit their heads, but everything else is fair game.
You get 2 minutes and that's it.
Then on to the next victim's delegate.

Nah.  .   .  I'm thinking more along the lines of forced restitution.    You don't get to go hang out with other criminals marking time and honing your "skills".    You get to go bust your a**  for twelve hours a day doing whatever you are assigned to do until the fruits of your labor have restored not only that which you stole but the costs incurred for seeing justice done.   You want to get tattoos and lift weights?   Do it on your own time.    Not feeling well?   The doctor will see you after work ( which you will also pay for ).   Commit a capital crime?   There's no such thing as "cruel and unusual punishment".  That's what the victim(s) and their families go through - your fate will be decided by negotiations between the prosecuting authority and the victim(s) and or their survivors.   

I read that as forced prostitution at first and laughed my ass off

Chances are pretty good thats included with their stay.

louie the lumberjack

Yep that guy was in condition white.  But he obviously went to red real fast.
