if you could have immunity like an officer it’d be a different thing, but you don’t, and you’re coming into a situation partway through, you have no idea why what is going on is going on. she may have tried to run him over, which women like to do, or killed his dog, or nothing at all.
the problem is the average citizen has no idea and if you make a mistake the courts and defense attorneys wil have NO mercy on you. you are not law enforcement and you screw up doing a citizens arrest or drawing your weapon on an innocent person, you’re screwed.
they - libtards - have made it so you will forfeit your rights if you try to do what you think is helping someone. the fact is people who carry are not doing it to be some unarmed person’s rescuer. we would in a world where you weren’t sued and jailed for using common sense, but it’s not worth losing your 2a rights over.
now in a shtf situation where there are no/courts, leos and you are your own law, it’s different.
“...the fact is people who carry are not doing it to be some unarmed person’s rescuer...”
Okay, there is an Arizona exception to that. I have known several people, including a Marine, who have used their arms several times rescuing a defenseless person(s) from an attacker(s). Never for themselves.
It’s a peculiar thing that I would attribute to a “confidence aura” that armed people can have, that criminals pick up on and say to themselves, “not that one.”
Plus, when a place has so many guns on the street, it becomes not just polite, but genteel, and the good citizens are much more prone to act, instead of going rigid and calling the police.
