In this case, an attacker with a gun
TAMPA - About a month ago, Audry Sauceda was carjacked and fought back. He stuck a gun in my side and told me to get out of the car," Sauceda said while sharing her story with FOX 13 on May 15. "And I pulled out my gun and stuck it in his face, and told him, he needed to get out. He screamed and jumped out of the car."

A gun isn't a magic totem that prevents criminals from attacking you, especially with concealed carry. A firearm isn't going to magically make everything better. Simply having a firearm isn't going to grant you lighting reflexes that allow you to win any confrontation.
What a firearm does is allow you to change the outcome of just such an event. The will to use it along with the will to defend yourself and your property, is vital. This doesn't depend on where you live – crowded city or rural farm.
One of the great myths regarding guns is that the criminal will always have the jump on you and there's nothing you can do about it. You can't protect against a sucker punch, but you can fight back. Criminals do not want to die for your wallet or car either, and the threat of overwhelming force can make them change their minds. Simply giving them what they want isn't a guarantee they won't shoot your ass either, so why make it easy for them?
