'll spell it out: If you had a weapon, you could tell him to stop, if he then tried to attack you, you could do something about it other than have your face ground up.
And, you know, that a gun wouldn't suddenly a positive difference. Either you have a gun and use it to stop a theft, escalating the situation way beyond anything it would have otherwise gotten to, or you don't, which still has you escalating a situation without actually doing anything to stop the guy. Great, you pull a gun and he attacks. That's assault with a deadly weapon or murder if you pull the trigger. Congrats.

"Hey you. Stop doing that!" pulls out gun
"No." Keeps stealing bike
"'kay ;c" stares pointlessly with gun in hand

All you pointed out here is that people have such little respect for you that even if you pointed a gun at them, they would just keep stealing a bike.
