Tell him "No," and get ready to fight/draw, possibly to include displaying my holstered firearm or other "deterrent device."CHLSteve wrote:OK, so hypothetical scenario:
BG walks up to you, evening or nighttime, as you pass by, and says, "Give me your wallet!" He doesn't appear to be armed at first glance, just mean.
What to do? Draw? Shoot? Run?
Puts the BG in a reactive role rather than an active one, and lets him know he doesn't have control of the situation. He's a little more likely to think twice about continuing, and if he does persist, I'm already prepared to fight. At the very least, it puts me on a more equal footing, readiness-wise.
