I assume this has been discussed but after 4 pages of search results I gave up.
Just a quick scenario: Let's say you are in a Village Pantry or gas station and a guy comes in holding a gun. He threatens the person at the counter and asks for cash. He is yelling and threatening the cashier. You are only a few feet away but you are behind the guy and can get to your EDC quickly. Do you draw and shoot? Draw and tell him to drop it? Do you step back and stay out of the way assuming most of these situations end with no one getting shot?
My my gut says option 3 but I would feel awful if the cashier is injured by a gunman I could have taken out.
Thoughts?
