I hold him/her at gun point until the police arrive.

Okay. You are assuming that "bad guys" will do what you tell them if you point a gun at them. I can tell you(as a law enforcement officer) that is a bad assumption. If the "bad guy" thinks you will NOT shoot, or KNOWS that you can't legally shoot he will NOT comply with anything you say, but will most likely walk away or laugh at you.

OTOH, if the bad guy knows you can legally double tap, that my FRiend is a detterant.

If the bad guys don't comply by walking away, I will let them walk away, but I will try and tail. If the bad guy thinks I won't shoot, or can't legally shoot, he will be very surprised. I would rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

I appreciate your feed back (in the fwiw dept., my secondary MOS was 95C).
