He has every legal right to run at any time he pleases, and probably shouldn't be considered in the argument.
I see this situation starting somewhat of an uproar. I would have pulled, and at the very most shot to wound. I don't know though, I haven't been in that position and who am I to say I wouldn't completely panic.

Your goal is simply to stop the threat. Anything that occurs as a result of shooting to stop the threat is imply collateral.

If, in Louisiana, you are found criminally innocent or are not charged in a defensive shooting, the state says you cannot be sued in civil court.

MI the "victims" have a right to sue you even if you were justified . . . even if it was to prevent you from being murdered. doesnt mean they will win, just means they can.
as far as the shoot to wound vs shoot to kill vs should to stop the threat i think thats all difference of training imo. i agree overall its a shoot to stop threat scenario, however i was always taught/explained to that when you draw your weapon and pull the trigger you better aim to kill bc a wounded threat is still a threat albeit a minimized one. i like the statement shoot to stop a threat though, bit more PC o:

and my mindset is dead men can't sue. might be a bad one but when you grow up in a area where the sheriff stands there and tells you that you have a better chance if you kill the guy instead of wound him . . . well you see where i'm going here o:

Do what you want but you better know damn well if you verbalize that you were trying to kill the BG versus trying to stop him, you're setting yourself up for a world of trouble.

Just tell them you though your life was in danger!
Always ask for your lawyer or legal representation before you give a statement to police

h:it's a horrible idea to say you were trying to kill them.
as a matter of fact, you never say anything if the situation arrives. dont answer question, ask for lawyer, shut the fuck up. obviously you know all this but i'm just saying for the general group reading this thread
