would you use your handgun to save someone you didn't know?

Referring to the original scenario:

Is there imminent and otherwise unavoidable danger of death or grave bodily harm to the innocent? A reasonable person would say yes.

Does the aggressor have the ability and opportunity to place the innocent person in jeopardy of her life? Looks that way.

Is a rolled up umbrella a deadly weapon? Yes. It constitutes a clubbed weapon or bludgeon which is fully capable of dealing lethal blows (the metal/polymer core may be shrouded in flimsy plastic while furled but the entire object can be as effective as some cheaper version of batons).

If necessary, deadly force is authorized. An attempt to subdue the aggressor through nonlethal means is preferable.

I would only use my gun if it became necessary. Generally a sound beating will do the trick.

If some of us didn't volunteer to balance out the selfishness in the world, the whole planet would go straight to hell overnight.
