Controlling the Scenario

I was wondering if anyone here has ever been in a less-controllable situation than a fight, for example, in a convenience store when it was being held up, a city bus with a hi-jacker, etc. and what you did/would do in that situation.

For example, in a 7-11, I am friends with the owner who works most of the time. If it was being held up, I COULD take a bottle of wine from the back shelf and knock him out from behind, but there's always the risk him accidentally firing, then I would be at fault for him. The LEO's always say to give them what they want, but all too often they rob and then kill anyways.

Depends on the person like age height bulkyness ect.... i also think if he had doing a hold up with some sort of knife i would definitly use a submission from behind... i really think that works.. because when u get a real submission choke from behind ur reactions are to grab the hands... and by that time 10 seconds pass and he is asleep....

although if it is a GUN hold up.. i probably would take achance at nocking the **** out of him with a weapon of some sort when he aims at anything but a person. From behind that is... but then again that might not always work because of different setting types... Gun Hold ups dont have much choices... when something involves a gun... EVERYTHING is at risk... my opinion is do everything he sais... UNLESS U HAVE A DEFIINIT 100% ONE HIT KNOCKOUT... which is rare.
