killing someone who is trying to rob you

[Raised2Win]

if there's a chance I or someone else might get hurt if I dont kill this guy, then Its an easy kill. But if everybody would get out with 0 chance of getting hurt, then killing is wrong.

"armed gunman" pretty much guarantees this chance exists.

yes. just like killing is an easy choice when you are 100% sure he is going to kill you after he gets your wallet

but you dont know that

Stuff like this happens too fast and there are too many variables to know exactly how one would react. I wouldn't want to kill somebody. If the opportunity presented itself to take a robber down, though, my reaction would depend a lot on the combination of anger, fear, and adrenaline running through me at the time.

It would depend on if my wife and/or young son were with me and were also threatened.

If they aren't with me, I probably just hand over the cash. a few bucks aren't worth another life.

But if the wife or kid are in danger, I'll get all Samuel Jackson in Pulp Fiction on your ass.

...and I will strike down upon thee with furious anger...

If he's asking for money, I'm giving it to him. If he takes my money and then says he's going to kill me, I'm tearing his throat out with my teeth if I have to.

I agree completely.
I defiently think if you go robbing people you must realize their is a risk that your going to run into the wrong person.
If this was a home invansion is it safe to just start shooting as a home owner when the door busts open or do you wait to see their intent?

You defiently have to do something to protect yourself

Depends on where you live. In some states, you could empty a clip into a completely unarmed burglar and not be charged with anything.
