Here is the scenario:
It is late at night and you have to go to the ATM (this actually happens to me a lot because of my job). As you are finishing your transaction, a man starts walking toward you, saying "Hey I need to ask you something." You say, "I don't want to talk," but the man continues walking toward you. You tell him in a firm, clear, and loud voice to stop. He continues to slowly make his way toward you while going on about how he needs to talk to you. You pull your gun and again order him to stop. Assuming the guy isn't stupid, he runs away.
What do you do now? (Also, what if this situation occurs in broad daylight, in a shopping center with people around? The last thing I want is to either shoot someone who is just stupid or wants to sell his product, and I also don't want to look like the BG if I do have to engage.)
or B) he IS stupid and continues his approach, and you shoot him.
What do you do then?
I know the basics of what to do after a defensive shooting. I am more concerned with what to do if you DON'T pull the trigger.
If anyone is interested, on YouTube there is a series call "First Person Defender", and that is what got me thinking about this.
