Concealed carrier

[Big Daddy]

You're in a bank or other commonly robbed establishment. There are other customers about.

Place gets robbed, and so do you. But you're armed and the robber didn't feel your weapon.

He turns to exit and make his getaway.

Do you shoot him?

Some say yes, shoot him and 'get my shyt back'. But a friend of mine sitting here brought up good points against that.


A. would the law support you shooting him in the back as he is clearly exiting? (yeah right, only cops can do that kinda stuff and get away with it)

B. what if your shot doesn't kill him instantly or, worse, misses altogether and strikes another customer? In either instance the robber's most likely going to fire back and there you have it- a shootout in a store full of people and kids, by two people most likely not trained to shoot a lick.

C. you shoot and kill the robber, and it turns out to just be a kid, or his gun turns out to just be a bb gun. the guilt that you may feel everyday wouldn't be worth it. Plus in those scenarios the law and public opinion would be giving you though look.

What would you do?




What about if you're in a dark alley or just on the street, just you and him, and he just robbed you but didn't take your weapon because he somehow didn't feel it in his nervous rush.

He takes off with your cell, money, and whatever else of value was in your pockets.

Do you blast him in the back or just let it go as "material possessions?"




In that scenario, I'm blasting.

Hard to say. In your example, by the time I have the option and opportunity to shoot, he is already dipping. It isn't my job to put my life on the line,
or risk not killing him and he takes it out on me and possibly other people. If he ain't trying to grab people and whatnot, I assume I would let his ass go and try to make a good mental note of
what this guy looks like. No reason to start blasting, especially if I kill him. *I* have to deal with the feelings about ending a man's life, so Im not gunna rush to do so.

Law wouldn't support shooting him in the back so nah I would just take the L and KIM.

 

[KyokushinKarateMan]

Hmm

Bank scene, if he's clearly trying to jet up outta there I'm not blasting. But that alleyway though... those are my personal possessions, and if he's out there violently robbing people at gunpoint then who knows, tomorrow it could be my brother or little sister, tomorrow he might shoot instead of just "gunpoint"... I think I might have to let him have it.

I don't like the thought of that though.

 

[newarkhiphop]

If it's a non violent robbery (no one gets hurt) , I'm letting him go, trying to stop him is not worth the headache afterwards of dealing with cops, media etc.

Other than that my life or someone else's life would have to be in danger to do anything else.

*waits for the first person to come in here and say "Ill shoot him in the leg *

No jury would convict bruh unless you shot another shopper

ill shoot him in the leg...



nah i wouldnt shoot him if he's on his way out unless i have any indication he will hurt people.

Those were my sentiments as well.
But I was curious as to how other people would handle such a situation after reading this quote in the thread about the line for the GTA5 debut getting robbed:

im always heavy if im out that late spending money. somebody wouldve got shot in the back

I wonder how many people who carry, feel this way.

Yea, guns give people a sense of courage sometimes. The thing is, the adrenaline will kick in during a situation and people will do things they normally wouldn't. The robber, while an asshat,
may NORMALLY be a decent person. Not that that matters, but it is something to consider, as well as his family. If he did not try to harm anyone physically, he can walk and hopefully I can assist
in him getting his comeuppance. I would never blast someone for stealing if it isn't 100% necessary. Madoff took BILLIONS and ruined peoples lives. A little robbery will likely be nothing more than a temporary L and a story to tell down the line. Killing that man will scar any reasonable person, assuming they aim right. You miss...you might catch slugs.

i live in florida..... if i fear for my life, im shooting. Period!

Somebody might come in and accuse you of "Blaming the victim" if you were to question someone riding solo hitting a convenience store in a shytty neighborhood
after 11pm.

you know it's coming.

What about the alley way scenario.. just you and him

 

[TLR Is Mental Poison]

I dont carry much cash on me in the first place so it wouldn't be that big of an L, in the bank...

In the alley tho nikkas would get clapped up
