I noticed over the years on TFL, there are some who are gun artists first and others who are unarmed martial arts first depending on the situation.

I would like to know on close up scenarios (6 or less feet), what is the first response? Armed? or unarmed?

For example, simple robbery...Bg approaches from your 8 o'clock. He is wearing dark clothes and a dark rain coat. He came from around a post in the parking lot, he is coming up with his right hand with a .38 snubbie. He is 5 feet away from you. The gun barrel is just starting to level with your head when you hear him earing back the hammer.

What do you do? First response?
