Seen at Time:

Livaccari points out that, in a holdup, a gun-waving victim is more likely to end up shot than one who simply hands over money — though his message isn’t helped by incidents like one last October in which a would-be victim shot and killed a man he told police was trying to rob him and a female companion at gunpoint near the French Quarter. Then there’s the possibility that a gun will be stolen and used in other crimes. But as long as the sense of being under siege persists, such concerns aren’t likely to dampen sales of guns, pepper spray, guard dogs and other weapons in New Orleans.

I’m gonna have to go ahead and disagree.
