Something we were discussing after a Law & Order episode. Not at all a question asked by Shego to prepare for different circumstances.

I doubt that what I'd actually do in that situation is going to be anything like what I think I'd do, or think I should do. But right now, when I'm not actually facing the situation, I think I'd rather die where i am, likely where others can find me than die wherever he decides to kill me of his choice.
Probably the wrong solution in the long run, but kidnapping portends worse outcomes than simple mugging.
But it doesn't much matter. Without training you really have no time to think about what the right thing to do is. When I was mugged, I had my nice SLR in the car, and didn't think to take it out and take pictures of the getaway car, all I could think was to go in the store and alert someone and have them call the police. Probably for the best, though, as if they saw me taking pictures, they may consider coming back and using their car or gun to solve the issue.

This is my thinking and what my dad taught my sister and me when we were kids. If someone's crazy enough to point a gun at you out in the open, who knows what they'll do to you when they have you alone.

I have no idea what to answer here. You know? Finland... not really applicable.
Guns and cars don't exist at all in Finland? It's still entirely possible.

True... but about as likely as an eighteen-year-old supermodel stopping you in the middle of the street, opening her trenchcoat to show her naked body and saying "Take me".
I mean, supermodels and trenchcoats exist in Finland. So it's entirely possible.

I've always imagine that starting to take off your clothes might jsut weird them out and cause them to move on.
While singing "Let Me Entertain You" from Gypsy in a wavery voice.
There's no option to shoot him.
I believe that would be under the "fight" option.
However, if you think you can draw a gun on someone and shoot them before they have a chance to blow your brains out, you've probably watched too many action movies.
No. I need a shoot first, shoot often and shoot last option.[DOUBLEPOST=1347158202][/DOUBLEPOST]
Also I never said I was going to stay still. Move to a position where he doesn't have a shot; front or back of car. Even if he floors it you should be able to move out of the way of the vehicle. If not then draw and fight for your life.
Lightning fast Dim Mak strike to the center of his chest. His heart will instantly explode.
There's no fall down and pretend you're having a seizure option. :/
or Fall down and ACTUALLY have a seizure option.
Personally, I'm holding out for a poo your pants and cry like a baby option.
Pretend you're a monkey and fling poo option??
"Are you my mummy?" a la Doctor Who option.
We now have two very dead forum members. What a shame - they will be missed. :/
The shooting in Norway wasn't that far away was it? No one expected that either. Which isn't really the point of the thread anyways is it.
Better to die fighting
Who would want to take over Finland? It is naught but dark elves and shrews in those parts.

No point trying that, I must warn you. 80% of males have undergone basic military training, the police carry, and trying that kind of shit on a Saturday night will most likely lead to you receiving a pistol enema because everyone is heavily anesthesized due to alcohol.
And it's not that Finns "can't even fathom a violent act" - it's just that most often random street violence is done via fists or knives. Firearms are mostly the domain of school shooters and such among the non-law-abiding element.
Lots of funny posts ruined by my sadness that half the voters as of this post said they'd get in the car.
Apparently they not only lack guns in Finland, but senses of humor as well. My conquest shall be even easier.

Honestly, I'd have no idea. It seriously just depends on the exact situation at the time, whether I run, try to disarm, or get in the car with hopes of escaping later (or immediately after we start driving). There's really no telling. I'd like to not be in that situation.
I got over my "I could take them" fantasies a good while ago, so now I'm pretty much aware I'd be unlikely to do much. I do know, however, that people tend to be awful fucking shots when surprised.

Critically fail charm on the lout. As the lout attempts to shoot him he critically fails his shot, misses his target, hits a pot on the ground, ricochets to the roof, off a lighting fixture straight into the middle of his eyes.
