I don't know but in a class I took had a case in which a woman was brutally rapped by two guys (I think) and badly cut with a knife. She bandaged herself up got a gun want out and found the men and killed them. They tried to charge her for murder but the citizens flipped and they let her go.

Well, assuming I did not immediately evacuate every orifice on my person, I suppose I'd have to rely on my training. I have, you understand, seen every Chuck Norris movie ever filmed. We are tight, Chuckles and I. That's how tight we are....I call him Chuckles and live. Would-be attackers, FEAR ME, for I have the power of Chuckles Norris!

My personal experience
A kid pulled a short nosed revolver on me in the late 80?s. I managed to talk him down and left the area. It was a bright South Florida day and the bullet in the chamber had a blue tip. And I did have to drive home and change my underwear. The cops didn?t care. I refused to go back to that North Miami area ever since the incident. Does that answer your question?

Buy into their demands, then as they walk away pull my own weapon, maybe even shoot em in the leg if I feel the need to "subdue" them, and then hold em there till the cops show up and lock those ****** up. Honestly, the law can kiss my ass in a situation like this. If some punkass is going to take my stuff, I'm going to make him pay. Its mine, he loses all his rights the second he tries to mug me.
Probably book it into the first brush I could find. Pistol rounds don't do a whole lot of damage on impact, that's why cops have those special rounds.
I don't think there is any hard and fast rule to such an encounter... I wouldn't want to find out how weak my martial arts foo is in a situation like that unless I had absolutely no other option, and I was sure the situation was going to turn violent.
My advice to winning a violent encounter is avoiding the fight to begin with. Paying attention to your surroundings, and getting a 'vibe' for whats going on around you, ahead of you, and behind you gives you an edge... Being aware as well as self confident generally makes you a less desirable target for someone intent on making you a victim. Having said that, its not always possible to avoid such an encounter...
If you are in such an encounter, I would try to keep your cool as much as possible and assess the situation as best as you can. If there is any chance that complying up to a certain point is going to de-escalte the situation, than by all means comply if it means giving up your wallet, car keys or whatever. If the encounter turns into something where someone is trying to get you into a car, or move to a more isolated area, all bets are off... I don't think there is anything you own that is worth the price of being shot, and can probably be replaced at some point in time, but if someone has alterior motives and is trying to get you into a position to further escalate the attack, I think the odds are higher that the probability of violence being used has gone up dramaticly. If pride or machismo is going to make you step-up and try taking on someone with a gun, you are one step closer to being a darwin award nominee in my mind...
If the situation goes t*ts up, and it looks like violence is going to occur, my first choice would be to create distance between you and the attacker, as well as bringing in the use of cover... putting anything between you and the attacker whether it means a telephone pole, tree, newspaper rack or whatever increases the chance of getting out of the situation. I would also try and make as much of a commotion as possible to draw attention to your situation as possible, and get the hell out of there...
If you have no other choice other than to go to blows, realize you are fighting for your life and act accordingly. I always carry a pocket knife, and that would be my first choice (unless I had a CCW and a firearm, obviously) using one hand to block the weapon or knock it off axis, while attacking with the knife to the most vulnerable, lethal target open to attack depending on position of the attacker. If a knife is not available, time to improvise! A pen, keys, a piece of wood or rock laying on the ground, anything to increase your hit points...

Stand right where you are, look them in the eye and take it like a man. If they shoot and you don't die... you're a badass MF'er the rest of your life. If they don't shoot... you're a bdadass MF'er the rest of your life. If they do shoot and you die, you'll never know and for the rest of that dudes life, he'll think... "that was a badass MF'er."

That sucks bro, glad you were'nt hurt. I almost feel that in a situation like that where some street punk is threatening your life, if the victim gets the upperhand and kills the antagonist there should'nt be any legal action taken. Hell if people were allowed to carry weapons in public there would be a lot less crime. Seems to me most of these so called thugs are just cowards, they try to prey on whoever they think is weak. But imagine the shock on some asshat's face when they pull out a knife and the intended victim pulls out a .45
Are you smoking crack? 15 feet away? Stationary target? The first time I shot a pistol at 21 feet I could hit within 12" almost every time.... if they have 15 bullets, and you are 15 feet away, they could be a blind man and hit you... 15 shots... to hit a 5-6' tall 2 foot wide target? lmao...
i'd act calm...willing to help...pretty much give them whatever they want...except my anal virginity
