There were people in this thread saying that they would just blast away, without warning.

I said, hey...becareful, you can be a victim in hot water under the law.

I can see your viewpoint, but remember this is an anonymous(for the most part) forum. Of course all these macho dudes are going to say that. However, none of them, unless they've experienced this situation (Like Coastie) can tell you what they would actually do if they should experience this.

Adrenaline will be rushing. You mind will be foggy. You will be scared of the unknown also. You'll be questioning "Is he armed too?", but all of this will be happening so quickly that who's to say what you'll remember to say or ask. The main issue here is DID YOU FEEL YOUR LIFE, OR THE LIFE OF SOMEONE ELSE, WAS THREATENED?

Logic and common sense says that in all likelihood the answer to that question will be YES and you'll be shooting to save a life in self defense.
