Grasshoppers, you are forgetting the subtle nature of the scenario.
If my family were in the mall, I'm not running out of Mervyn's and leaving the scene. What I actually do has too many branches at that point for a sure answer.
However, I have you outside seeing the AR dude.
If my family were at home, I watch AR dude run into the mall and then I am out of there.
The question is do you:
1. Flee - always a wise option but unleashes the great moral and/or I want to be hero debate. Altruism is complex.
2. Challenge AR dude and find out it is Doug. You may then say Adios to Doug flee or you might join his posse and CHARGE!
3. You might just immediately shoot AR dude - thus,
a. YOU KILLED DOUG - oops! Doug, have you left documentation so that your family, doesn't sue anybody who shoots you due to mistaken identity when you unlimber your AR in an urban fire fight?
b. You killed a terrorist - thus you are a hero.
Given the multicultural nature of society, if we all had ARs in the car and ran into the mall, there is no clear way to identify terrorists unless they are wearing signs. Quite the gun fight, wouldn't be?
Seriously, I see it as:
1. By yourself - flee and fight if you must to save yourself.
2. If family are there - try to get to them. One might avoid even obvious targets to get to them. Fight then if you must.
Hey, Delta Dave - nice seeing you yesterday - reading this one?
