We, as gun carrying, permit holders are not suppose to apprehend criminals. We are to defend ourselves and ours against bodily harmed under only the most strict guidelines. To do anything else will make the Anti's notice and give them more ammo (pun intended) to use against our Constitutional right to bear arms.
Welcome Gunns.
I don't know about that "we are not supposed to" thing. Agree that we aren't policeman and we have oft heard that we need to be good witnesses. Others have said that they would not intervene - not sure if I could live comfortably with myself if I did not do something under the right circumstances and yes I am aware of the pitfalls.
I am unaware of any state statute that limits use of such force to self and loved ones.
I believe that I would rather tick of an anti or entire busloads of them than watch an innocent die. Imagine the headline: "Armed man watches murder of woman 8 months pregnant"
