Better to be judged by twelve than carried by six.

I’ve heard that saying many times in reference to survival.  I suppose that applies to this as well.  Now if the guy turn his gun on me or already fired a shot, no brainer.  If it seemed like the typical, let me waive this around and get a hundred or so from a drawer, then I’m not sure especially if I was further away from the action.  I still feel someone trained would be more apt to pull the trigger.  I wouldn’t blame anyone who did.  I guess I feel like I have a lot to lose.  Sitting in prison wouldn’t be fun way to watch my daughter grow up.  Seems like as the years pass, even in doing what is right, the victim(robber in this case) somehow gets protection.  Or if that’s not the case, then you have the guys family suing the [BLEEP] out of you because you killed little ‘fill in the blank”.  ‘He had soo much potential and talent” bs.  That’s the part I want nothing to deal with.  

So I guess mark me down for if my immediate (or family if they were with me) life was in danger or if shots already fired I’d do it.  Otherwise, let the authorities handle it.  Wouldn’t blame a anyone or judge anyone that did or would.
