If it is a legal gun, use it. He is indangering your life. He is threatning deadly force so it is perfectly legal to use deadly force against him.

In the USA, I'd pretty much kick the criminal's butt or run like hell. Criminals in America have no heart or intelligent to realize that a human life is important.
I'd assume that the person, out of his ignorance and poor stupidity, would find a way to kill me.
In this country, you'd get killed for $20. That's how pathetic it is here. And our president keeps talking about "morals"???? When the average poor American would kill someone just to buy a six pack at a grocery store?
That's what happens when the focal point of a country's culture is unregulated commercialism. Greed is the focus and compassion is a minor, secondary thing that only can only be realized once the appetite for greed has been whetted.

Well, first of all you should probably define, a legal concealed weapon. Depending on the state that you are in, it wouldn't be a gun, if it's not a gun a knife defined as legal in most states means that you use it for work.
I'm certainly not going up against a large knife with a box cutter. I would give him the wallet and depending on his demeanor I would have to determine, quickly, on whether he may cut or kill me anyway.
If I saw that he was still approaching my airspace; then, I may have to box cut him to ribbons, anyway. If I lived; then, I would get my wallet and buy, a large bottle of ammonia, a freezer, and a wood-chipper!!

This one guy in Middlesbrough tried mugging me with a knife at 2.00am. I grabbed the knife off him, bent the blade in half and handed it back to him. Then I took all his money. Ha ha ha.
Sorry, but I hate muggers and I'm pretty good at handling myself. Guns on the other hand, just give them the friggin' money. If someone points a gun at you there's very little you can do about it unless you're right up close and are SURE you can move faster than they can.
Just out of interest, has anyone ever been mugged by a woman? I might go ask that now actually.

Whatever is in my wallet would never be worth my life or the life of another person even if he is criminal. When circumstances like that occur, it's not a good idea to try some wild escape attempt, and I would never actually kill or injure someone unless they're threatening my life or someone else's life.
Money can always be made back.

I'd most likely just give them the money. My life is worth more than what's in my wallet. Now if I had an opportunity where I know I could get to the weapon and use it to my benefit without a danger to me, I'd do it, but more than likely, give them the wallet.

Run first. If they catch up to me, give them my wallet. I wouldn't shoot them because I don't want to live my life knowing that I intentionally took the life of another. It doesn't matter what the reasoning is, murder is wrong. If I were to kill him, I would be on the same level as him, and I refuse to be there.

Throw your wallet in one direction and take off running in the other. This method is the safest. Hopefully you get away unharmed.
Report this to this police immediately and cancel all credit cards!

A concealed handgum is not always going to save you. I would definitely give the wallet. You will get hurt if you don't give it up.

Give him the wallet, when he turned around
get my weapon and then yell hey asshole. When he
turned around I'd say give me my wallet back and then call the cops on him.
If he made any attempt to jump me he would be dead dead dead.

"A knife?? That's not a knife............."
Use my legally concealed loaded weapon. That's WHY I have it. It's a SigSauer P229 40 with an admin load and an extra loaded magazine in my pocket.
I PITY the fool
