It's a tad late and you are standing in line to place an order in a Chinese take-out (oh, we've already had one of these - no sweat). You were last in line until, when giving your order, a guy waltzes in off street and stands behind you.
You feel a pressure in the kidney area and a voice says quietly - ''I am gonna rob this joint, and you are gonna help me''. Is it a finger or a gun? Fortunately his area of contact is not on your piece so he does not know you carry.
Do you aquiesce and do what he says (for now)? Do you spin and make a sudden move out of line - to give time to draw? What if he has a gun instead of a loaded finger, and has finger on trigger? Boom - ouch!
Hard one to assess. Only mention this because of an incident when a buddy was in same basic situation and felt a pressure in his back. It was only in fact a big lady's purse!!
It did tho make him wonder - what if!! So I got to wonder also.
