What if you were armed and had a clean shot? Would you have shot the BG in this article or not?

I have family that tells me that I should not carry because I personally would have shot the BG in this scenario, forget the tackling crap.

On a crowded city street, a "Brother In Law Bear Hug" may be far more appropriate a response than pulling a gun and engaging in a gunfight.

Or a crowded mall?

Lest I remind you what happened to the man who hesitated, and tried to talk the shooter down..

That was his call. Perhaps he wasn't so ready to open fire in a crowded environment. Apparently you would.


PS: Could you please post your Mall Shopping Schedule? People might want to adjust their shopping times or at least make sure they're behind you at all times.
