So, what if the perp had run? Would the victim have shot and then how many years would he have been sent to the pen?
What if...
I guess its crazy to consider 'what if' when you pull a gun and affect a citizens arrest. Its been often said you better not pull it with out shooting it for just that reason.
Were i in that situation i would prefer to put the perp down were he to get up and run, however, i expect it would be highly advisable the victim would be better off to unload the gun and try bouncing it off the perps head than shoot him in the back.
Sorry for asking what LEO might think. Sheesh.
