What would you do?

[Gonumber24]

You and your wife are held at gunpoint by a robber. He might just want your money. You carry. Do you pull out your firearm and engage or hand over your wallet?

It depends.

[HumedoNino]

There are to many variables to answer your question.

[twinfin]

How do you know he just wants your money? Because that's what he told you? You going to gamble your life to the words of a crook?

The real question is: can you trust a crook? The answer to that will guide your actions.

[BoJackUSMC]

Depends....
I will give him the wallet, phone, watch.. whatever he wants...
However, if he says something like "Your wife is coming with me or get inside the car." It's on for sure...

[beanz2]

Maybe he is just a victim of systemic oppression by the military-industrial complex. Try to understand his circumstances and express more sympathy.

You engage my wife with a gun?

Seriously....I'm raining on your parade

[elSquid]

Shoot the hostage.

Attempting to draw on someone who already has a gun pointed at you, is probably not going to end well for you. The ideal situation is to be aware enough to not get into that situation in the first place. If you can't aviod it the time to be prepared for a fight is before the fight starts not after, at that point you've already lost.

Walk up to him and place the barrel of your gun on his forehead and blow him away. Ok so maybe that's not what I'd do but Id LOVE to see that happen to scumbags. A lot of variables could be involved. If they simply wanted my money I would hand it over. No amount of money is worth the life of my wife or mine. Like another member said if they demand your wife to get in the car then it's on like donkey kong. I will go out but I'll take you with me when it comes to my wife. There will be blood.

Draw your iron and then take HIS wallet.

[Dano3467]

Was he just turning his life around ? LOLz

No really

First off, where are we ? in public place, home, it does make a difference.

We won't even talk about the many other variables, every situation it quite different from all others IMO.

Really you have to be there.

No amount of money is worth the life of the misses. But, if they are going to do more, my life is not worth as much to me as that of my wife's.

[cannon]

Too many variables but I would not play fast draw McGraw when someone already has a gun on me. Probably wait till their attention is elsewhere.

Exactly. I would like to see my kid grow up, but I'll be damned if he does it without his mom.
