One need not have a gun to counteract a gun. Of course one would also need to have his wits about him to do so.
Because we all carry guns, we think that our gun is the primary tool and the tactics we devise center around that gun. In a case like this, the victim could have certainly 1. run away, or 2. taken the gun away from the perp.
Ever see Steven Segal take a gun away from someone? Wouldn't be a bad idea to learn how to do that. An hour or two of training is all it takes...not meant to imply that this is for everyone. It takes a lot of nerve, skill, and repeated practice to perfect this maneuver. If you don't do it right when you need it, the consequences are dire.
Most hand to hand self defense courses teach it.
