I honestly do not know. I would hope I could first get the weapon away from the one holding it on me and kill or seriously wound the person threatening my life before he had the chance to kill me for refusing to bow down to his A”Z. But I am not so egotistical as to think that I would do XYZ for sure. I hope I would do the right thing. The question is, what is the right thing in this day and age? Is pretending to bow down to an idol in which you have NO thought that this is god, the same thing as actually serving A”Z chalilah? I don’t know, but this is an intersting shailah to ask my LOR.
