Re: Play Possum?

I agree with this 100%. Something we were always taught was distraction can be your best defense. Demonstrating some form of confusing act can also fall into play here as well. Do anything to make the BG look into another direction and that 2 second delay is all the time in the world. Look over the BG's shoulder and shout a few explitives like some one is coming. Tell the BG your wallet is in your vehicle "right there" and point behind him. Act like you recognize the BG and ask him if he is "Michael" or insert your own name.

The only issue with this tactic is the BG's response to confusion. If you can take his focus off of the fact the HE has a gun for just a few seconds, things are in your favor. Again, there is no perfect response to a threat other than keeping your head on straight and your loved ones safe.
