No, you are leaving out the third choice. Don't put yourself in that situation in the first place.
At the point we're discussing, that's already history. Now take it from there.
Retreat.
At the point we're discussing, two people have a firm grasp of the shotgun. The only way for Travis to retreat would have been to let it go. Is that your suggestion for him?
