Hypothetical scenario:
Victim is out side of his/her car minding his/her own business - pumping gas or something - bad guy comes up with a lethal, non-firearm weapon (knife, club, etc.) displays it in no uncertain terms and demands wallet. Unarmed victim complies, then bad guy walks off.
Bad guy walks away, but remains in the victims sight. Victim reaches into car, grabs gun that is safely stowed away under the drivers seat. Victim, now with a superior weaponand thus superior force in hand persues bad guy with the intention of getting his/her property back - nothing more nothing less.
Thoughts? Does the law having anything to say about such a scenario?
Is the victim making a wise/unwise move?
I undertand its hard to talk specifics or detailswith made-up,vague, orhypothetical stories, but the real question boils down to: Is there any legislationcoveringtrying to "rob" back what has just been robbed from you?If not,is this a good idea or a bad idea?
I do carry and carry often, but I'm not 100% and sometimes my weapon is not always on my person, within reach, or readily accessable at a moments notice....
