Glad to see the level headed are in the majority on this one. I'm damned sure not going to shoot someone I don't absolutely have to shoot! 
I tried to watch all the news stations to see if they had any stories on it but didn't see anything. All I know is it is a pho place. (Pronounced fuh?) But I don't know which phoking one.... 
None of us were there and we have no details ............ as such you and me have no idea what happened. What we know is the bad guy stood down, end of **** show. Bunch of what if's are required to come up with calling her a dumbass for all we know at this point she is an off duty cop and knew what she was about.
There ya go, taking all the fun out of the thread. Her only error was that she didn't check here before she entered the restaurant.
Lets just all hope and pray that we never have to use our guns but to only hunt with
I know a guy who did exactly this... the guy driving the car tried to hit him twice, then turned to come do it again - as he drove by, he blasted him in the head with a .45. After 3 attempts to run him down, he elected not to allow him a 4th attempt. He did not have ease of escape at the time due to the circumstances in a parking lot, and a Texas D.A. agreed and called it a good shoot. The perp's family disagreed and filed a civil suit, which was not tossed (as it should have been), but was decided in my acquaintance's favor.
Sometimes you're backed into a corner, sometimes you have the ability to bring a situation under better control, and sometimes you should just avoid it. As noted above, it is not black and white. One might draw their pistol without presenting it, to have it closer to hand in a scary and uncertain situation, one might present it in an attempt to control the situation, or one might simply draw and fire without warning, if that were what the situation called for - this is in my opinion, of course, and IANAL. Not saying what I would do in any of the above, as I really don't know - it all depends on the situation. I can assure you, if my wife and/or child were with me, or other members of the public, my level of caution/action might very well be different than if it were myself alone.
The whole notion of if you pull your gun you have to shoot someone is utter stupidity. There are numerous situations where you shouldn't .once a threat is no longer a threat you can't shoot them legally, unless you like the taste of prison food.........and penis
