I would be hard pressed to sit by and do nothing.

There are too many variables to concretely say "I would have done this" or "I would have done that" in this particular situation. You not only have to consider your backstop, you have to consider where your backstop will be if the bad guy moves, and you have to consider the bad guy's backstop if he misses you.
