I'm going to get shot.

Bad guy is going to get shot.

My brother is going to get shot.

No matter what happens, . . . it won't have a great eanding.

Any one, two, or all three of those may happen.

What will NOT happen is me standing there watching it happen, knowing full well I have my 1911 on my hip.

I'll first (according to training) start a circling movement away from the weapon, . . . making it a longer move for him to get me than it was before.

I will also talk to him and do every thing I can to distract and confuse him as I am moving, . . . and pulling my weapon.

As soon as I am sure I have him in the 3 dot sights, . . . if he has not relented and run, . . . you can refer to the first three lines.

May God bless,
Dwight

Going nowhere and attracting "chest thumping."

One thing about hypotheticals. You can set then up to have any result you want -- including an absolute "no win."
