Internet answer: Yes. I'd shoot to stop the threat.
Real answer: Even if you have a weapon, if they're just asking for money, just give them the damn money. If they're holding up someone else, it's an even easier answer.
But as soon as they get violent... stopping the threat.
Did you once shoot a robber in the foot?

TheArticle said:This robbery also disproves the unfounded idea that concealed carry permit holders are blood-thirst people, who are just looking for an excuse to open fire. Here, the robbery victim could have drawn his gun right away, but instead chose to hand over his wallet and avoid using his gun. It was only when the criminal continued to threaten his life that the victim used his concealed handgun. In his own words, the robbery victim stated the following: “When they tried to rob me, I thought, ‘Give him the money and call the police later,’” Budde explained. “When he came at me again, I thought, ‘I can’t fight him. I’m 51 years old, I’m disabled, I don’t have the strength to run.’”
