Yup, after you've complied, they've ignored you for the most part.

After they’ve moved me back inside and left me. How close to the door am I?

Thinking along the lines of 7.62Kolectr. If they are really ignoring me, and I am close enough to the door, then I probably bolt. If they are not completely ignoring me, or I'm not close enough to the door, then I probably look for a moment when their attention is elsewhere, draw and drop the one closest to me, then start heading for the door while firing at the other two.

As for liability... Not even a consideration. The moment they pushed me back into the store at gunpoint, my life was in danger, and remains so until they are down or I am out of there. So I can easily articulate why I was in imminent danger of death or GBH.

I don't have the skills that you do, Brownie, so I'm only going to go on the offensive if I really MUST, or if I feel like I have a moment of distinct advantage.

Regarding who to take out first, I would say that if there is one of them who is very obviously "in charge," he's going to be on the top of my list, but if there is some tactical advantage in taking out others first, so be it.

Meek, mild and compliant. I may drop to my knees and beg for mercy.

Yep. Exercise your acting abilities. Cry. Beg. Whimper. Fall on your knees, and whine like the most pathetic coward the world has ever seen. Then, when they have written you off as a yellow-bellied wuss, who is less of a threat than a five-year-old girl, surprise the CRAP out of them! Come up shooting, or whatever you need to do to put them down hard and fast!
