Just to make my opinion perfectly clear....
If indications are that compliance would represent the best strategy for remaining unhurt, then by all means, comply.
I would not recommend choosing compliance just to avoid harming a robber, however, and given a viable alternative, I would not choose to trust my safety solely to the hope that the felon would not choose to harm me seriously.
I have been involved in three serious defensive gun use incidents, and I once stumbled into a robbery in progress that was aborted due to my unexpected arrival. In that one, I did not draw.
In none of those occasions did I fire, and I am eternally grateful that things turned out that way each time.
