I'd let him shoot me, then catch the bullet with my teeth and put HIS bullet into MY gun killing HIM with HIS own bullet.
Poll: HE'S GOT A GUN!!!

Assess the situation. What kind of gun? How is he holding it? Does he look panicky? Is he looking around or focusing on me? Do I know him/her? Is she my ex-girlfriend? Did I sleep with his ex?
Different answers would have different responses. Odds are though if someone was there with me my first instinct is their protection. Second would be finding a way to disarm and subdue the attacker.
Call me a freak but I've considered various scenarios like this since I was five or six and even though fighting back against a gunman is frowned upon it's always seemed like one of those things that someone has to do so why not me?

Making your self a human shield or using some one else as a human shield isn't has effective has you would think. Tests on Mythbusters confirms that a Bullet can pierce through Fat and Muscle very easily your best bet would be if he's just carrying light ammunition so and hits a bone, larger ammo or ammo used in a M16 or AK-47 would just tear you and the shield to shreds.EisBaron said:
I chose shield loved one, as everytime i get surprised, such as braking suddenly while driving, I always try and protect the person/dog next to me, and I always care about my friends' well-being more than my own.
Lotta damn heroes here. Lotta dead men too.
I duck and cover, I'm a realist.
Also there seems too be a disturbingly large amount of escapist who apparently carry guns.

Oh, just the fact that I haven't for an instant argued "that such a thing can't be done." I've argued that it all depends on the someone though, and not as much you. This makes it a bad idea to do if your option is to just wait to see what the hell he wants. That doesn't necessarily mean compliance (though it can, if it's something incidental.) That doesn't mean cowering. That doesn't mean getting raped (apparently in the middle of a busy supermarket???) It can mean talking and deescalation. It can mean other things too. But forcing someone into the position of shooting you or losing control of the situation is not the kind of rational choice of which you want to be on the losing side.hoopyfrood said:
If I want to impress internet-goers that I'll never meet in real life:
I'd probably use my Muay Thai skills to disarm him, and then say something all badass-like, along the lines of, "Sorry, sir. This yours?" in a deep, gravely voice.
Truthfully?
I'd drop to the floor and do what he said. I'm not a fighter, I'm a gamer.
