What would you have done if one of them had started to run away?
My dogs would have got them and I had them pinned up so that they were sitting in freezing cold water and had no change to escape.
Were your dogs or the perps in freezing water :-)
Whatever. The two under current consideration don’t appear to have thought things out very well, and I still think it’s a bad idea to promote the idea that everybody and his son should go out with guns and ‘make the world right.’ More often than not, it’s the good guy in the story who suffers most, not the bad guy.
