No, I cannot see the video in the link. Sorry.

ok ,two armed and masked guys break into a market by threatening the old owner and rob the case including the cigarette section.the old guy tries to struggle with those two without gun (he shouldnt have done that though) .then the robbers run away and the old guy begins to run after them with a gun in his hand.
 
Mexican Standoffs only work if each of the two robbers is willing to die for the other. Otherwise, he shoots one and the other shoots him. Or they just don't believe his threat and shoot him.


1 v 2 is bad odds when everyone is armed.

during the robbery ,the owner didnt have a gun though

The OP said "if he was holding a gun to their heads", so I thought the question was what would happen if the owner did have a gun during the robbery, and was aiming it at them (two armed robbers)

Did I misunderstand?

yes but there were 3 people ,which one of them would shoot the other and teh other would shoot him as you claimed is complicated
 
I don't know. I am not even sure what I would do in his position if I was carrying. If I read the situation and genuinely felt they were just trying to get money and had no intention to hurt me I probably wouldn't take the chance, unless I had my life savings in that drawer or something. Unless I am mistake they never hit the guy or anything when struggling for the gun which leads me to believe these guys weren't the killer types.

I don't pull a gun out of a sense of justice or revenge. If I pull my gun it is because I believe it will increase the chances I, or other innocent people around me, will live. If I feel pulling the gun will make things more dangerous then it stays put.
