I agree w/ Triangle here. I've had guns pulled on me, and I've been shot at. The best thing is asess the situation. If the person is just after your wallet, give it to em. But if they're after you or your family, then wait for an oportun moment and act. As I tell my students, if you decide to act and attempt a disarm, you have to fight as if your life depends on it....Because IT DOES! I also tell them that even if they get shot, they must continue the fight because being shot doesn't equal being dead. There are many many people who have been shot, and lived to tell about it.


Jim Wagner recomends just giving them the wallet also. However, he says that if they're too far away, to toss the wallet away from them so they have to look away to get it. When they do, run for cover in a circular pattern. His thoughts, if you zig-zag, then you cross their path 2x versus just being a moving target which is moving away. I dunno which way is best, but when I was shot at, I always just ran. Usually wasn't far to a corner of a building. It seemed they never came close....But I'll have to meet the man upstairs to find out how close it was. LOL
