I'd venture to say most people un-trained with firearms will probably have their finger on the trigger, and this BG is probably very nervous. Could be a bad situation.
Or it could be something other than what I am perceiving as a bad situation, i.e. -
- The BG is the clerk's roomate who is playing a (stupid) prank on him.
The BG and the clerk are brothers who agreed to the robbery and then split the money.
The BG is a stone cold killer.
The BG is the local honor student who did this on a (stupid) dare to join a fraternity.
Bottom line is it's virtually impossible to be sure. About the only two scenarios where I know that I would engage without hesitation are are:
- BG has targeted me or my family.
BG is on a murderous rampage (i,e. Cho at Virginia Tech or Luby's in Killeen).
