I guess 'Stand and Deliver' is out of style. A good Howard Dean scream might do something - get folks' attention, you'd want as many supportive witnesses as possible, I reckon. 'Remember the Alamo' will probably top the list for me - it's patriotic.
If you don't want to draw the gun at all, something psychotic might do. A man with a knife in a mall, you could look at him closely and scream 'Nelly!' so as to rattle the skylights. Or say something in pig latin. Confuse or confound the creep, and/or draw a gun afterwards and switch to a calmer yet authoritative personality, tell him to reach for the pavement, unless he'd like to be under it.*
Singing a nursery rhyme ought to unnerve anybody also, if you do it loud enough (any of you folks try and watch Sesame Street?).*
