From 357 Magnum:
Would You Act In Defense of a Stranger?
Two “friends” were at a shooting range, taking turns firing a pistol. Their girlfriends were also present, when one of the guys turned and started shooting at his “friend.” (With friends like that, who needs enemies?) He shot his friend 5 times before he was stopped.
You would generally think that saving a stranger from an attack would be automatic.
BUT !!
Being the third man in is always dangerous !!!
In the above situation, how do you know that the shooter is not the “good guy”???
Tough call to make.
Better know who is the bad guy before you shoot. Its usually pretty obvious, like some 20 year old assault an 80 year old, or some 14 year olds attacking and knifing a 30 year old food delivery woman.
If you aren’t sure hold them prisoner and let the judge turn them loose.
Some situations seem clearer than others, but you never know if you didn’t see it start.
