i'll start. i voted "yes, was anarmed or otherwise unable to access my weapon" because the store i work at was robbed at gunpoint when i was 19 and i could not legally carry.

I think I understand the intent of your poll but the way it is worded makes it contradictory to itself.
Your answer to when the store was robbed shows that even though you may have wished that you had a weapon you really didn't need one. If you had a weapon would it have made a difference and what would that difference have been? There is a good chance that if you had a weapon and tried to use it you may have been killed. These are the exact situations that the Brady Bunch uses to demonstrate how unnecessary guns are. There was a robbery at gunpoint, no one was armed, no one was hurt, alls well that ends well, let the police catch the robber.
