I'm an old man and have multiple health problems. I don't get myself into any sketchy situations. If someone approaches me that I don't know, I immediately go into ready mode. Since I can't physically fight, I have to be prepared. Otherwise, I don't stand a chance. I know that, and so my awareness is always high. Besides that, I'm unusually careful anyway.

In the situation mentioned by the OP. My hand would have been on my gun the minute the stranger started to approach. I would have told him to stop! If he continued, I would have pulled my gun. Hopefully, I would have beaten him with my gun in hand before he got his out.
