Can you trust the word of a guy who is robbing you?

My CWP instructor (a 25-year retired veteran of a local police force) advised us this way: On appraising an "imminent danger of loss of life or severe bodily injury" - "If a bad guy approaches you with a weapon or communicating a threat, either verbally or with body language, you MUST assume he will use that weapon or carry through that threat. Act accordingly"
If you believe you will be seriously injured or killed no matter what, then you lose nothing by resisting. If you don't believe the BG really intends you harm, then again, you lose nothing by resisting.
If you don't resist, you may be killed or injured anyway. Some of these people are either juiced on something or just enjoy hurting people.
As everyone has said, it's YOUR call all the way and depends on how YOU assess YOUR particular situation.
Do what you have to do and shed no tears.
