      Look at the dude. That is an AMBIGUOUS looking old guy.

      Age somewhere between 50 and 80.

      Mexican, middle eastern, greek or mixed race maybe just a caucasian dude who gets a lot of sun.

      Height “sitting”

    “No but you seem to be if you have to pull out a gun instead of fighting me with your bare hands.”

      Witty one liners are always a good idea when faced with an emotionally unstable gunman.

        They’ll either back down or kill me. Either way, I win. 🤷‍♂️

          You could be in the hospital in excruciating pain and then survive with long-term health problems.

              Important to note that you’ll survive trauma because you’re in the care of the hospital. It’s later, when you need specific medication, that you die due to not being able to afford it.

          I’m not sure we have the same definition of win, but I suppose you do win by your definition so continue.

    That’s a walk away and tackle later kind of problem. If their only move is “gun” then they have no other ability to protect themself. Walk away slowly, wait for them to let their guard down before tackling them in the scooter and taking their gun away. Let them cry that they can’t abuse anyone anymore. Point it at them to show them what it feels like to stare down the barrel of someone angry at you, uncertain of what the next few seconds bring.
