I was researching something the other day and I came across the idea of citizen's arrest. I never really thought about it before but I did follow this tangent for a bit, because, well basically that's what I do.
This is not really directly related to firearms per say. I'm not speaking at all about open carrying while making a citizen's arrest. But since you guys (and gals) tend to be well versed in state law and would be more apt to have come across this, I'm wondering if anyone has real world experience in this?
Is this essentially what happens when a store stops a shoplifter and holds them for police? Is there a formal process?
No specific reason I want to know- just trying to expand my database of pointless knowledge. :lol:
