As far as the thread question, I think that the individual situation will dictate your actions. Generally I would say to practice situational awareness, avoidance, and do not be afraid to challenge someone if you feel you need to. Criminals are looking for the weak and unprepared because they are easy to take advantage of. If you are aware and present yourself as confident, you will avoid most negative interactions. Those who are physically able should have some basic foundation in open-hand defense techniques. Michael Janich teaches a very basic form of overhand strikes he calls "cycling" that is easy to learn. You don't have to be a black belt in Judo (while that would be nice), you just need to make sure you have some options for defending yourself from a non-lethal threat.

When you can say I feared for my life as any reasonable person would have under the circumstances.
AND I could not retreat or I was retreating AND the BG(s) had the means to greviously harm or kill me AND the danger way imminent and there was no other alternative when you get to this unfortunate point lase (Laser) and blaze with the minimum amount of force necessary to stop the threat. call the police (before someone else does) aid the wounded (as your state may require) await your arrest until it all gets sorted out.

A police officer said if you feel that your life is in immediate danger, draw your weapon. give him a verbal command, and if they still persist fire
