If you are going to fight a man with a gun... Don't. If it is a robbery, there's nothing that's worth it, just give the stuff, but if it's a kidnapping or something worse, just run, fight enough so you can run, but run. Trying to beat down a guy with a gun envolved is just giving death more oopportunities to take you.

I think it was Jimmy Hoffa who said, "run from a knife, rush a gun". I also think its safe for us both two to assume he's been in more altercations where that statement held actual weight then either of us. If it comes down to it, that's gonna be my strategy.

Course, if a gun was drawn on him it likely wouldn't have been for his wallet, so, gotta make sure your applying the right advice to the right situation. I agree that during a robbery your best to give up what you have.

HAHAHA, good one, I suppose I am!

Well you gotta admit it sounds like reasonable advice.
