If they point a camera at you, be flattered. Smile and wave even more. It will be on the record that you were being friendly, not combative.

If they point a gun at you... (well, that's actually extremely unlikely - so no point in engaging in a negative fantasy, if unnecessary.)
I already do # 1 and 2. Never had 3 happen (do not want it to).

If it did, I would hit the break (make him miss). Depending on what is around (down range) I might send some hot lead back his way in self defense.
