This article is in direct response to a question posted on my Facebook page. I have invited readers to post their questions so that they might be answered in this article series. The first question to be addressed is one about shooting a person who has just shot another person in a public place but has not threatened anyone else. Here is the question:
If you were eating in a fairly busy restaurant, and a gunman came in, grabbed a woman and shot her (probably his wife), would it be legit for you to take him out? Since he had not bothered you or even looked at you, would it be legal or grandstanding?
