Let's say I am at Target and some crazy guy...

...whips out a gun and yells at the service desk "give me all the money!"

I'm standing nearby, I have a CCW and a Glock 23 in my pocket with 27 rounds of .40 S&W 180JHP.

Best thing to do is lay low out of his sight but get my Glock out of my pocket at the ready?

If I lay low he may kill someone. I would be justified in shooting him before he shoots someone. This is what I am sure of.

I would indeed put 13 quick rounds in his chest if he did start shooting. Am I right to shoot him even if he never pointed a gun at me? I would think so.

Sorry, I hate it when threads are locked just when they start getting fun.

I would say that depending on your states law about protecting a third party. My self here in Virginia depending on the demener of the person I would order him to drop the weapon and if he didn't I would make the choose for him.

How much money we talking about here? I might make him a deal. I really like that new M&Pc.

I hate it when locked threads are reopened.
I hate it when keyboard commandos voice their "I'm so bad and cool now that I have a gun and who cares what my states law is regarding the use of deadly force I just want to shoot someone" fantasies.

I hate it when folks push their luck here by reopening closed threads.
