Scenario #3

The man is a retard for engaging the robbers since:

1. Endangering his child unnecessarily
2. He is not a police officer, just a person with a gun
3. Protecting PROPERTY which does NOT even belong to him
4. Engaging 2 armed suspects with only 8 shots

The list can go on I'm sure...
 
The guy was a total idiot for getting involved with his daughter right there. What the hell was he thinking??
 
1. I would have moved my daughter to a position of cover while dialing 911 and keeping an eye on the BGs. I would not have unholstered my weapon at that point - don't want to be mistaken for one of the robbers myself... As far as challenging or engaging the armed men - they're not an immediate threat to me or anyone else that I can see...

2. This is NOT a deadly force incident. First, the situation, while indicative of robbers fleeing a crime scene, doesn't preclude alternative scenarios. Secondly, in most jurisdictions, CCW shooting a fleeing felon is not legal (though it is in Texas).

3. This was absolutely preventable by using common sense and resisting the urge "get some."

Kevin
