I use these incidents to get people thinking about them. I don't bash the incidents at all, but rather have people think about getting into things just to be a hero or what ever. Sometimes not getting involved is the best thing to do. I see threads talking about scenarios so I thought I would throw a few on.

Scenario # 1
The scenario’s based on a true incidents:
A man exiting his car at a neighborhood store, the man came in contact with 3 gang members. One of the gang members recognized him as a witness in one of his court cases in the past. The man stated that they were mistaken and walked into the store to complete his business. While inside the store, the man saw the gang members return to their car and retrieve baseball bats. The gang members raced into the store and rushed toward the man saying something about how they were going to ‘give out some of their own criminal justice”. The man pulled out his own 6 shot revolver and pointed it at the approaching gang members. The man yelled for the gang members to stop, but they kept approaching. The man, fearing that his own weapon would be taken from him and used against him fired off shots into a adjacent wall and threw his weapon under a rack of potato chips. The man then fought back using his hands & feet until he was knocked unconscious. Fortunately for the man he was not killed and later fully recovered from his ordeal.
1. What if anything would you have done differently?
2. Was deadly force justified in this incident?
3. Could this have been prevented?
