I cannot imagine myself in this situation since I don't even own
a gun, but a friend of mine is a county policeman(person) and his
instructions are DON'T PULL OUT YOUR GUN UNLESS YOU INTEND TO USE IT.
IF YOU SHOOT, SHOOT TO KILL.  

If you do not take advantage of your situation, you might, 
in the long run be right........DEAD RIGHT.
