If it was unaggravated assault, by all means pull it out.

Criminals don't care about attracting attention in an armed robbery (burglary might be a different thing). In fact, some do it for attention. They care about whether you live to testify against them though.
How many news stories are there about people shot dead for nothing. Perp just walks up and kills you to see how much you have on you. Or you give them everything you have and the perp doesn't think it's enough, so he shoots you. If you've seen the criminal, you can identify the criminal (which they definitely don't want in court). If you think giving some crack-head your $50 is gonna keep them from killing you, I wish you luck.
