Q&A for How to Act when Held at Gunpoint

This depends on what country you're in. In the UK, the number for the emergency services is 999, whereas in the United States of America it's 911, and in most of Europe it's 112.

People are more likely call emergency services when they hear the word ‘fire.’ If you scream or shout help, a lot of the time people assume nothing massive is happening and won’t think too much of it, so shouting ‘fire’ is more likely to get attention and action.

Probably not entirely. It'll take years of therapy, and coming to terms with it is more than likely.

If your life is on the line, you'd better become a world-class actor. Don't act reluctant, just comply and survive.
