If I can’t tag something in the Guns Saving Lives category, it’s not self-defense. And if we’re drawing our firearm and pointing it at someone, your life should be in danger at that point.
Some will argue, but I’d have them ask themselves this: If the suspect in the video decided to run, would you expect the armed citizen to shoot him? If you answered yes, you shouldn’t be carrying a firearm.
I don’t want to rip this guy apart, and I know in some states it’s legal to use deadly force against theft, but what happens if this suspect were shot? How will a jury look at it, and would they agree that it was reasonable force? These are big questions, and questions you should think about if you carry.
