I didn't vote in the poll; cowboydoc summarized exactly how I feel about this situation - four choices don't cover all the possible variables. I wasn't there during this specific event, and each situation will be different. I'll act accordingly, or not act and simply do what the robbers say based on what I'm seeing at the time the incident occurs. I also agree with jarhead and nofearfactor, however - I will not be herded into a bathroom, or back room, or forced to my knees and told to face away from the bad guys. Those actions all telegraph bad intent on the part of the robbers, and that (if not beforehand, depending on circumstances) is when I'll take action to defend myself and others. Assuming action is required and taken, I'm confident I'll bring to the ensuing fight several factors that the bad guys probably won't (or can't) - including the mental preparedness and willingness to shoot another human being when necessary; the equipment and training necessary to win the fight; and last, but not least and unlike my adversaries, I'll have the full force of the law on my side. Those factors alone stack the deck in my favor; not to mention the fact that the idiots such as the ones who perpetrated last Sunday's Kaffe Bona robbery most likely purchased their weapons from one of their crackhead druggie friends and have likely never fired them much less trained with them extensively. That's assuming their guns even function properly, which is also doubtful. In addition, they entered the business thinking they're badasses on the offensive with weapons drawn - once the bullets start flying at and in them, that will force them to transition to a defensive mental state. Which probably means they'll piss themselves as they're running out the door screaming like little girls.
