Of course, all the prudent actions need to come from the unarmed man, right?

Nope. I didn't say that.

But I would rather be alive and prudent than 'dead right'.

As I said in a previous post:

"You never know if the other guy is a loose cannon ready to blow up or not."

"I see my primary objective as survival and protection of my loved ones".

" It's not about right or wrong or being manly enough to stare the other guy down -
it's about avoiding and/or not exacerbating a potentially deadly situation when possible."

So then by no means should you move a few seats away, right???

Be sure to sit right behind the guy, order him around, kick his seat, start an argument, pick a fight so you can use the gun that you know that you have but he doesn't.

"I see my primary objective as survival and protection of my loved ones".

Would that be like your wife who you left seated there while you went to the lobby to complain.

Or maybe it is your son, the Tampa Bay police officer, who you know is coming into the theatre at any moment to join you for the movie -- and did just as he shot him dead.

The guy was a pure coward.

Nor did I suggest that you had. But the only person you suggested be more prudent was the dead guy, so I think my question is fair. You are mute on the notion of prudence as it relates to the shooter.
