I haven't been anywhere with a population over 11,000 since late February and no plans to do so in the future. I was relieved when a Nashville concert was rescheduled so won't be going there.

IF, I was caught in the described situation hopefully I would be driving my Tundra not the Mini. Although the maneuverability of the Mini could be an advantage, quick 3 point turn.
Reverse would be my choice, slow and steady. Would not display a firearm, but it is easily accessible
