[QUOTE="blutch, post: 1020332, member: 8352"] The textbook answer is if they are not a family member, no. If for instance you come upon an attack and haven't seen it all from the very beginning.. you could very well be protecting the bad guy and shooting the good guy. This has happened. However, the practical answer is, if you are close enough to an attack to engage, it MIGHT be arguable that you were also in imminent danger. I think about this all the time.. shooter is on a rampage in a gym or office building... do I wait for this person to shoot several innocent people before trying to do something or do I run away or do I try to stop the killing... tough call to make sitting in the recliner. I'm very interested in this and am looking forward to the discussion that ensues. Great question. B [/QUOTE]
