Hyper vigilance is better.
Always. Part of the hyper-viligance is to be ready to go all the way

You shoot people and then you get sucked into the system.
Which is a failure of the system. People shouldn't even be arrested for self-defense cases, let alone tried

You also risk retribution from the criminal's family. crooks don't like when you shoot them
Still self-defense to protect yourself from retribution. That's back to the hyper-viligance

Better to evade.
Of course, but that's not always a choice, like in this video

All he needed to do was take his keys out of the ignition. And be vigilant of his 6.

He didn't need to confront when they engaged. Just evade.

Shooting would have been an over reaction

Also, does he pull the gun when the guy has him in a headlock and the other guy is punching him?

Wrecked by the internet

I always remove my keys when I pump gas.

When I took Kung Fu as a boy, there was a move when you were on the ground you hooked the crook of your elbow around the guys heel and then you roll up on to his shin.

It's works really well if you are not expecting it.

I'm always hyper vigilant when I pump gas.
unclear how this crime is seen as valuable by criminals

That gas station video almost has to be staged.

I know I say people are oblivious but no one can be that oblivious to being stalked like that and then turn your back.

Armed?

A zippo lighter would have been more than enough to fight back with right there.
