[QUOTE="brettlt, post: 1190576, member: 11858"] It sounds like there is a valid defense for "fear for my life." The main guy is threatening violence, and he has two other people with him. Those odds mean the victim could be "in fear for his life." If I am in fear of my losing my life, then my gun could definitely come in play. However, there was never a punch thrown and at least one other person was attempting to diffuse the situation, so from the video, I did not see enough to pull a firearm. Also, I am an armed security guard, and at a minimum, I would have run off the thug, while also calling police, but most likely I would have arrested him for attempted theft. There is the issue of actually witnessing a misdemeaner, if I did not witness the act, then I would have protected the property until the owner could be sorted out. On duty, I could not stand by and let someone make threats against another individual, I would have been in the middle of them, and been ready to use force if necessary. (Pepper spray, baton, etc.) [/QUOTE]
