a hypothetical situation. However, you are correct with respect to 911, but incorrect about running away. I think it is unfair of you to suggest something like that.
Like I said, I have never seen such an action, and I remind you I live in the downtown area. But if I did, i would call the police. This is what any citizen would do.

I agree. and I do take responsibility for my own safety (part of point 1 above) having a gun is not a guarrantee. In fact I would submit that it is more of a liability.
