re: #264 Rightwingconspirator

Yes, this is so. But let’s not say “playing hero”. The law and a certain morality gives us room to step up. Maybe to confront a rapist in the act, maybe a shooter scenario.

There are crimes where i would try if I thought I could. Especially if children were at immediate risk.

It may give us room, but we still have to have the common sense whether to exploit it or not. It’s the same common sense we expect any gun owner to operate on, that if you don’t have to draw your gun, you do not. Based upon all the evidence so far, the man had no need to confront Miller, but he did. He tried to act like a hero and instead got gunned down as a fool.
