If it is a legal gun, use it. He is indangering your life. He is threatning deadly force so it is perfectly legal to use deadly force against him.

give money then kill

Give him my wallet and everything i have. I'd much rather give him all of my material possessions then have killing a person on my conscience the rest of my life.


Dialup, Avatar, Jones!
Ask if he'd be willing to take the gun instead of the wallet, so I don't lose my ID and stuff.

Just give them the money. It's not worth my life or his.

If they tried something stupid I'd shoot though!

A concealed handgum is not always going to save you. I would definitely give the wallet. You will get hurt if you don't give it up.

Ask him to go away. If he attempts to attack me, shoot him in the foot or leg, somewhere it won't be fatal, run to the nearest phone and get help.

mmmm what kind of concealed weapon do I have? If its a gun I would say, "drop your knife or i'll kill you." something to that effect.

if i have a knife on me, i would pull it out and say, "do you really want my wallet?"

In the USA, I'd pretty much kick the criminal's butt or run like hell. Criminals in America have no heart or intelligent to realize that a human life is important.

I'd assume that the person, out of his ignorance and poor stupidity, would find a way to kill me.

In this country, you'd get killed for $20. That's how pathetic it is here. And our president keeps talking about "morals"???? When the average poor American would kill someone just to buy a six pack at a grocery store?

That's what happens when the focal point of a country's culture is unregulated commercialism. Greed is the focus and compassion is a minor, secondary thing that only can only be realized once the appetite for greed has been whetted.

I'd most likely just give them the money. My life is worth more than what's in my wallet. Now if I had an opportunity where I know I could get to the weapon and use it to my benefit without a danger to me, I'd do it, but more than likely, give them the wallet.

Give him your wallet, then when he turns to run pull out your Desert Eagle and tell him you want your walet and his walet!!!

Well, first of all you should probably define, a legal concealed weapon. Depending on the state that you are in, it wouldn't be a gun, if it's not a gun a knife defined as legal in most states means that you use it for work.

I'm certainly not going up against a large knife with a box cutter. I would give him the wallet and depending on his demeanor I would have to determine, quickly, on whether he may cut or kill me anyway.

If I saw that he was still approaching my airspace; then, I may have to box cut him to ribbons, anyway. If I lived; then, I would get my wallet and buy, a large bottle of ammonia, a freezer, and a wood-chipper!!

Show my weapon , demand his knife a tell him to go urinate up a slack rope.

Blow their head off.

Anybody who threatens another's life for money has voided their right to expect or merit any leniency or mercy from their intended victim.

Dead criminals is a GOOD thing.

I would pray to God first, then do what he said so I don't die.
I have a 6 year old son to live for.
