I was just thinking about this the other day. Procrastinating, really.
This may be a horribly stupid and pointless question, but I'm just curious.
Given a situation where someone is doing something to threaten the life of someone else, but not you, do you shoot or not shoot?
As an example, someone is strangling or trying to drown someone. Or even more immediate to that person, hitting them with a bat or club or something. It may be a clear cut answer to you guys, but I'm just confused. Even a person with a bat can be turned into a non-threat if the correct action is taken, but do you take that risk and try to overpower them, or do you shoot them and end it there?
