Would you do it? Would you play the role of the good Samaritan in this instance and shoot the robber? I doubt I would if it appeared he was only looking to get the money and run. Taking someone's life over a few dollars is a tough call, even if the law is on your side.

I think it would depend on how he was acting. If he was waving the gun but keeping it pointed down, I'm not shooting because he doesn't intend to use it, and it's not worth taking a life over a few bucks when the store is covered in cameras and witnesses.

If he was pointing the gun at the clerk or waving it in their face, I'd shoot. That body language would lead me to believe that this is a person with intent to harm others, and won't necessarily leave it at taking the cash and running away.
