I dreamed I was standing across the street and saw a woman waving a gun around to my left, threatening people and trying to herd them into a building through a doorway.
Alarmed, I drew my HG and shot at the woman and (gasp) shot the gun out of her hand. I went over and another fellow and I further subdued the woman and I advised him to remove the magazine from her gun and empty the magazine.
At that time I said 'since nobody really knows what happened and no one was shot, I'm going to take off'. I was thinking 'oh, it will now be a problem, even though I was a good Samaritan, I'll likely be arrested for discharging a HG in city limits, and probably have my HG seized as evidence'.
It just goes to show that even if you are doing something right, saving lives, you end up with the crappy end of the stick. I seriously doubt that LEOs have their HGs seized when they shoot a BG, by the way.
Though it was a dream it illustrates, for me, the big downside of getting involved, wherein my rights are violated (no one was actually wounded) and my safety compromised (i.e. disarmed until the trial is over) should I do anything besides save my own life or a loved one's life by discharging my HG. It further convinces me not to ever do something like that in real life.
