dksuddeth is making a very broad statement regarding what should "always" be done "anytime" someone threatens you with "any . . . weapon", and says that if you do not this is "an invitation to certain death".
That is complete nonsense. Threatening someone with a weapon does not lead to "certain death".

Ok, I now understand what it is you're saying and how I misrepresented my statement. Rephrasing that statement to 'compliance to all demands from someone with a weapon will lead you to complete defenselesness if said criminal intends to harm/kill you. If you let the bad guy tie you up, thinking he won't hurt you, you've now invited certain death, IF the bad guy decides to kill you, because you've complied yourself in to a helpless state.
