This happened in a nearby small, usually safe and peaceful town near me where I shop twice a week.
If you pocket carry, how would you deal with this situation?

Hanover Borough Police Department is investigating a strong-arm robbery that occurred in the parking lot of the North Hanover Mall Thursday.
Chief Randy Whitson said a 20-year-old New Oxford man was approached by two black men at 4:23 p.m. when he went to his vehicle in the lot near Carlisle Street after shopping at the mall.
One of the men approached the victim and asked him for a light for a cigarette, Whitson said. The two suspects then demanded the victim give them his money, saying they had a handgun. Whitson said the victim did not see a weapon.
After getting a small amount of cash from the victim, the two suspects fled in a dark-colored Mazda being driven by a white female, Whitson said. No one was injured.
The first suspect is being described as a black male in his early 20s with a thin build, braided hair and a thin mustache. The other suspect is a black male, tall, in his mid-20s with a large build and corn rows woven into his hair.
The female driving the car is described as a white female in her late teens or early 20s.
Anyone with information related to this incident should contact the Hanover Borough Police Department at 637-5575 or through York County 911.
