hey guys, i'm new to this site...been reading forums for a few days and decided i wanted to share a story with you and get opinions on things...
about a year ago i bought a glock 23, and took a concealed weapons class so i could get my permit...this was back in october of 2007...as of this day i still haven't turned in my application...but something happened the other day to my ex that makes me want to get it...she was at a local mall in Virginia with our daughter and her friend...they were outside smoking, but her friend was holding the baby and went inside the store...so my ex was left outside smoking beside the stroller, when she notices a man walking towards the mall who appears under the influence of drugs...she said the man walked up without saying a word, and reaches in the stroller...then he just looks at her and walks inside...
now lets say i happened to be there with her, and had my permit and my gun on me...lets say same situation played out with the druggie, and he reaches in the stroller and actually grabs my 11 month old daughter...i can't say what i would have done in that situation, but would shooting the man after he picked her up be justified? by justified i mean would that be a legal use of deadly force? another question i have is if you see someone getting robbed at gunpoint, or even with a knife and you thought they would/could be harmed or killed, would shooting the BG be a legal use of deadly force?
