what would you do

Just look at him. Don't blink, don't act aggressive, don't do anything. Just stare back at him. If he asks you for your money or whatever, just give it to him and continue to act calm. Basically just give him your attention and don't freak out.
I would say you should be more concerned about people threatening you with weapons that aren't guns, such as baseball bats and knives, because those sorts of people are much more likely to use their weapons. If they are using a gun, there's a good chance they are a coward, and they don't really want to shoot you either.
There are a couple exceptions though:
He is a redneck and you're on his property.
He is drugged up/crazy as shit.
You are on the wrong side of town wearing colors you shouldn't be.
You are in Iraq.
In the above situations I'd say start running. Unless you also have a gun, then you should probably shoot back.

Haha yes, Boston Legal was just pure television excellence. William Shatner may be hated by a lot as an overbearing, self-centered actor, but he knows how to be the hero and make us laugh.

Whut?
If somebody goes through the trouble of threatening you, there is next to no chance they're going to just blow you away. They have five seconds of unblinking silence to do so.
If they don't, I knock the gun away, draw knife, and pin them with it. (full nelson, half guard, whatever.)
When they move to threaten me again, I cut something unimportant. If they don't get the hint, I revoke their life.
DUH, it's random!
People take the "random" thing too far. Random is light discussion, not, as they phrased it so eloquently, "incoherent babbling."

His titanic ego probably helped him act the part for that role.It's a gift.

Depends entirely upon the disposition of the person pointing the gun at me. More likely than not, the gun is a last resort scare tactic. More often than not, it's the crazies who actually pull the trigger.
If the person still retains some amount of rationale, your chances of reasoning with them and/or disarming them are pretty damned good, provided you know how and aren't scared shitless yerself.

Wait for the opportune moment then disarm him and take the gun myself and turn him into the police.

Or he doesn't hesitate to shoot when you move. Or when he shoots you in the arm. Or if he has two guns (Everything is fun when it's 2). Or if your too slow.Or when his other arm is a hidden gun. Or when he's actually a clone of the gunman, and the real one is behind you. Or it's Ray William Johnson. Or it's me.

That's kind of what I thought.
I know this is Random and all, but would it kill everyone to actually give a slightly realistic response? I would easily bet 90% of us would do absolutely nothing but stand still in fright or start crying. Certainly almost no one would "ninja" anything or use quick reflexes to get out of the situation. *sigh*

Throw my hands up and shit my pants. Hold back tears while I whimper like a bitch. Hand over what it is that they want.
