Your heart rate at gunpoint

It's not like it happens very often in the US either. I don't know anyone who's gotten mugged.

I looked up some international stats on robbery, but they don't differentiate between mugging of people on the street and robberies at businesses, banks, etc. The US has a rate about x3 higher than my country (Israel), but again, it doesn't tell you much.

Sure, but 3x a very low number is still a very low number. It's not like I think or worry about being robbed.

For what it's worth, I don't either when I'm in the US.
