your gun should be in your hand, safety off, trigger squeeze in progress, before perp even knows he has picked the wrong guy........
Situational awareness is imperative! |

Hypotheticals are hard. However this is about as close as it gets to an absolute fact in a world of shifting circumstances: you can't improve your situation by making yourself weaker.

How close is the perp? I would assess his demeanor and see if he actually has what it takes to pull the trigger. If he's within 10 feet and holding a revolver with the hammer down... that pistol is mine. If he's got an auto with the hammer down, he's dead.
If he's not close enough... I've practiced a lot of "duck and draw". I think I'd have to dip my upper body to the side while drawing and squeeze off two from the hip. I've practiced and practiced and practiced. I can do it before most well-trained people can get a shot off. I'm pretty sure he would be toast. |

I've thought it through, at least partway. My plan, such as it is, is to turn gun side away from BG, knock the fuck out of whatever (gun, hand, face, shoulder) I can reach w/weak hand as I draw, and then make my own fireworks show.

So many variables and different situations in your scenario. First of all, if you’re carrying concealed it should be just that, concealed. What is the perp’s behavior? Is he acting like a crazed coke-head? How nervous is he? The more nervous the more dangerous the situation is. I’m a big believer in pocket guns. If your right-handed your carry pocket gun would be in your jackets left pocket. If he wants your wallet, and your right-handed, take it out of your back pocket and give it to him. Your left hand has the pistol in it in the jacket pocket. You can always shoot him through the pocket. To draw a firearm when the perp has the drop on you is very dangerous.

If he was a fat slob with a cheap revolver(Live shooting of that attorney a few weeks back), I would draw my CCW and put two in his chest while dancing a jig!
In reality, it would depend on if I was alone or with family. If alone, He may get my wallet from me but giving up my weapon would have to be a result of injury and not free will. If my famly was there I dont think there would be much time for him to decide what to do as I would without a doubt, charge him while drawing my weapon hoping that any round fired from his gun hit me and not my family. I can cover ten feet pretty fast, and 6' 230 coming hard with a purpose is dam hard to stop. My families safety, is my number one task, period. CH |

Then again you could just go tactical and raise your hand to your ear, press on it and say;
"Hold your fire this is not our target, I repeat hold your fire" while looking around at the roof tops. Then turn and say to him "Man did you pick the wrong place to hold somebody up.! You better get the fuck outta here, NOW!" Then hope he is stupid as he appears. CH |

That's why you should have a primary CCW AND a little Kel-Tec P32 or P380.

Railman44 has a very good point: never draw on a drawn gun.
I'm not risking my life for my wallet, but I wouldn't give him the gun. It is precisely because of this type of scenario that I took up martial arts almost a year ago. At some point, ie. as I'm handing over the wallet etc., he'll get close enough to take down. Your scenario is also why I always carry concealed, even if I'm out hunting. Not knowing that you are armed is another edge. |

First off, never ever give up your gun.
You wouldn't want to give your functioning firearm to a crackhead who is holding a broken or unreliable gun. Mentally prepare yourself to be shot while you attempt to stall him verbally. When the time is right you should virtually explode and unleash an attack upon him with stunning ferocity. It should not end until the threat is totally removed. Never give up your gun. |

He may or may not shoot you anyway, unfortunately. Like I said, carry a P32 or a Beretta 21A with stingers, and promptly apply to face as you hand him your primary CCW. |

I disagree and think that turning over your weapon is a death warrent and would never advise that. If the person intends on shooting you, you stand little chance, regardless of your choice. But, if your carrying a backup then I think CC is on the right track. Adding only the dropping of the mag out of your primary CCW as you handed it over. This is more of a distraction then handing over your weapon. CH |

throw you wallet his way so that he has to catch it, pick it up, or turn around for a second. While he's doing this, draw and give him a couple in the chest.

Yes, thats very similar to what I was thinking, only I'd throw the wallet to hisleft side, run at him screaming "AAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!" draw my weapon and shoot while he's distracted with the wallet and screaming. Overwhelm the bad guy, give him your "war face" But he might freak out over the screaming and bust a few in ya. |

Another option is to pull your personal light(Everyone should have one). When the perp is temporarily blinded pull your own firearm.

If he has a gun and doesn't drop it when he falls he can still shoot him. Also there have been some cases where the person being assualted didn't shoot to kill and got sued by the assualter. IMO, if you are going to shoot some one, you shoot to kill. |
