In #1, you are only being threatened with force. There is a iffy situation for certain. You draw and fire on the yob on foot. You then spin and fire on the car driver. The investigation reveals that yob A was unarmed and yob B was a drugstore delivery driver who is innocent and does not have any connection with the mugger yob. Unless you see a weapon, you can't just throw lead. In the second situation, is your weapon at hand? You are at a disadvantage. I would lean into the mugger and kick to disable while drawing my own weapon. Three rounds to the COM. Dial 911.
