Will You Run In A Straight Line?

When the attacker has weapons, he has the advantage. If you can stop the attacker before drawing his weapon, that will be better because you will be in more trouble as soon as he draws his weapon. 

The attacker points his gun at you. How far the attacker stands is very important. If the attacker is close to you, you can make your move to disarm his weapon. Even if you can take a step forward and reach the attack, you can make your move to attack him and disarm his weapon. 

But if the attacker stands far away, going toward the attacker will not be a good idea. If you can run to save yourself, you can do that. Now the question is, will you run in a straight line?

You know the attacker has his gun, if you run straight, it will be easier to target and shoot. It would be better to run in a zig-zag pattern. It makes it difficult for the attacker to target and shoot.

You have to run fast and hide. If there is something hard that can prevent the bullet, that's great. You can hide behind that. Again you have to run from there and hide. Whatever you do, you have to consider the whole situation.

Don't run in somewhere that has a dead end. If there are multiple exit options where you enter, that can help you run and get out of there. In case, the attacker does not have a gun, you can run in a straight line or the way you want. 

Rember that while you are running, you expose your back. So make enough distance so that the attacker cannot attack you from behind. If you get out of there and defend yourself, that's all that matters.
