I often OC or Conceal (I do have a CHP) on my person when it is just me, as many of my friends, do support guns but do not agree with carrying them every where. But I always keep a 9mm in my car, in a holster in my door panel.
After taking my terminally ill mother to ride in a New Camaro at Berglund (It was on her bucket list and those guys really helped me out) we were coming down Williamson, and I notice this guy (About 6 4, 250-300lbs) , just pounding as hard as he could inside on a passenger side of the car, thru the window, onto what looked like a child and a woman in the driver seat, just screaming for help. I pulled in real quick, jumped out of my car, assessed the scene, and the guy looked like he was stabbing inside the car, and this is when I noticed how big he was. So I double backed to my car real quick, grabbed the 9mm, and with safety on (I have always been taught, unless your about to pull the trigger, the safety stays on) I instructed the gun to get off of him, get on his knees, and face on the pavement. He semi-Complied with the knees and pavement, but end result, it stopped the fight, then fled. when I put my weapon in my waistband.
Turns out just a fight between to men, but it looked alot worse.
Being the EMT that I am, I'm worried about the guy because he got atleast 6 hits in before I could end the situation.
The guy decides to call the police, so we pull into parking spaces, I clear my weapon, and lock it back, police gets on scene, at first they were all like hands in the air, get on the ground don't effin move etc etc. So they get the weapon, Grab my ID, CHP etc, get the guy's story, and then they find out I just broke it up, and told me "get over here, good job man" and they gave my weapon back to me before the reports were even taking, after calling and making sure it was a legal fire arm. Took Reports, and good from there, we left.
My Question: I am 120lbs, 5 7, the offender was atleast 250lbs, 6 4, and it looked like he was stabbing a child in the car, did I do the right thing by drawing a weapon?
Question 2: What if I knew it was a simple physical fight, Would I still be justified in drawing a weapon to break it up.
