Family in the mall and not with me: Do everything possible to find them and make sure they vacate the mall to safety.

No family at the mall: Get out, call the police, fight my way to safety if necessary.

Never get in a vehicle.  Similar to when someone tries to heard you to the back room of a business/residence.  That rarely ends well.

--- End quote ---

If you were not aware enough that they got the drop on you and pulled a weapon within usable range, then comply unless you have good reason to believe they want your life in addition to your money.  Then you are in a lose-lose situation.  Might as well die trying to live instead of laying down and taking it like a pacifist I suppose.

Yeah...really too many variables.  In the mall, do I have cancer and only 2 months to live? If so, I might as well go out in a blaze of glory or get my name in the paper for saving lives.

JTH:
The number of "it depends" answers to MissMichella's questions got me to thinking about some of the other answers to questions like that I've seen over time, which got me to do a bit of writing about "what if" questions.

I really like the fact that so far, pretty much everyone's answer has included a lot of "it depends." That is not sarcasm---"it depends" IS a good answer to those questions.

RedDot:
1) The original plan in all instances would be ...Run.
2) Rapid adaptation and improvisation as necessary to overcome obstacles to original plan.
3) If original plan becomes an impossibility, draw your weapon and permanently ruin badguy's day.
