A man was killed this morning when one of two people he tried to rob at gunpoint drew their own gun and opened fire

Just don't know if I would have the 'nads to draw on someone who already had me cold like that.
I'm not slow - won my share of championships in combat pistol down through the years - but a Mozambique on an IPSC target is going to be much different than taking on a leveled weapon held by a living, breathing bad guy.

In a case like that the odds of you getting out alive aren't good so best to go for all the marbles.

Unless said bad guy somehow (ehem) "signaled" to you their proficiency with a pistol was somewhat in question....
