You may be right, but if they are going to just shoot you anyway, they'll probably shoot first and then take your money.

In this case, he did the right thing by chucking the money at the bad guy. His next move should have been toward cover. At least give the bad guy a chance to run. By trying to wrestle with the assailant, the bad guy had no choice. Also, it's just as likely the wrestling caused the gun to fire.

I agree that we need to fight. But it's more important to assess the threat level and use the correct response. This wasn't it.
