I realize this could/would be handled differently depending on the exact situation, but I would love to hear from some of you here.
Situation:
You are standing in line at McDonalds. There are few people in the store at 9:00pm. Guy walks up, pulls a semi, points at the teenager behind the register. You are 6 feet from the guy and he is looking anxiously at the teenager and shouting. Do you pull and fire? I believe the statistics show that he will get the money and run (am I correct)? Bad situation and concerns me:
1. If I fire, I have killed a human (bad deal). I must then live with the fact that he probably would have run off with $150 and everybody still alive.
2. If I don't fire and he kills the kid...(bad deal), #1 doesn't look so bad anymore.
3. If I don't have a weapon (bad deal) I don't worry about #1 or #2. But...he might kill the kid and several more including me..
