First of all, you are loading the question by adding an unrealistic qualifier of "something vital to my livelihood that I cannot do without". I can't think of anything that would be that in the context you used.

But in any case, I would not shoot them. If necessary I would run away in the other direction like a sniveling little girl. My guns are to be used only in the very last resort when I have no other choices AND my life is in immediate danger.

Now if some guy were throwing popcorn at me while playing loud music at a gas station, well that's a different story. Mozambique and grab a brew baby!
