In a fully operational "normal" society like you and I live in... I would set down my gun and try talking to this madman knowing full well that he will be arrested after the exchange or the sniper team on the building across the street will be taking him out shortly.
Now what would you do if there was no prison and there was no police? Its just you, your baby, and a madman in the desert with nobody in sight. Keep in mind, madmen are very unpredictable.
What do you do? Sit there and see what the madman does, risking the chance that he kills your baby while you did nothing? Or do you do whatever you can and at least try to save your child?
