JimT,
I am glad you and your body got out of the situation unharmed. I have to tell you, though, that giving that guy $53 and then making a run to the truck was stupid. I work in New Haven and grew up in NY. People can shoot others for the slightest of reasons and sometimes, for no reason at all. You took a big chance with both of your lives. You should have given him all the money and just walked away. I hope the police contacts that guy through craigslist and gets him before someone gets hurt.
Randy,
I am glad you have martial arts training, but he could have fired his gun and put you down, unless you could assuredly take that guy out (not hurting him badly,...I mean OUT). You made the right decision by not engaging him. The tool company and most retail stores are insured against robberies. Why would you risk your life for someone else's insured $2000. Glad you were not hurt.
