What would you do in this situation (if you were unarmed)?

But if all he had was a tire iron. I'd like to think that i'd be able to take him down and choke him out. He might get one shot, but i'd take my chances with that vs. him getting close to and harming anyone else.
Just my 2 cents.
If either side was armed with anything other than tire irons, it was not learned. No firearms were produced.

The good guy driver wanted to try to take the man bare handed. Introducing his BIL apparently changed things for the perp and he used his truck.

Had it been me, I would not have waited for a potential gun. Even big guys (I am 6'2" and weigh 260) can be whipped and I have been a few times. To me, a tire iron can kill someone and I consider that lethal force.
