As a concealed carrier, one needs to think about these situations and how they would react if they found themselves in the immediate area. Who’s the bad person? Who’s the good person? Are they both bad? There’s no way to know and whenever possible, the top priority is to get yourself and your family out of harms way and get on the phone with police.
Some people may make the decision to intervene, but the number of unknown variables is usually too great to risk such an encounter.
