The situation described no doubt happensbut is extremely remote for 99.9% of the population. Being in the wrong place, having a weapon and being able to use it without engangering more people, odds are rather high that you will never experience that situation in your lifetime, unless you work in a liquor store in an inner city neighborhood. He stopped the person with the knife, good for him but I have a better chance of wiinning Powerball than being in that situation. Don't let that stop you, wear that gun wherever you go.
Remember: When seconds count .. the police are only minutes away!
Nice saying. The relality can be hours and even if they are just 3 blocks away... I have 2 dead just for that very reason. My wife still misses her father and her step mom..
Yes and when they arrive they will do their job which entails investigating your murder if you end up in a bad situation and are counting on them to stop it from happening.
You have that nailed hard..... The cops have no legal autority to be anyone's personal body guards.
Again, just like the last knife rampage in a grocery store scenario-- I would bait him to the canned goods aisle and nail him in the melon from a safe distance with a can of beans. I used to be able to throw 90 mph.
I wouldn't do anything unless I was being threatened in some way. Or someone else was. Protecting property isn't enough to get me to put myself out there.
Please tell me your address, and when your not likely to be home......
You didn't answer my question. Does your town have cops in every business establishment 24/7?
I'm asking because you made such a big deal about the cops not being right there when the incident occurred. In fact, that was your first insulting response to my post. Go back and READ! Or maybe one of your kids can read it for you. Maybe.
My town has 3 cops and the state police are off duty after 8 pm..... The county farm is more than 30 miles oneway, and where you go if you are still healthy enough once the cops have arrived..

In myy experience it was a dinkweed town in middle east NH called bartlett, off a dead end road where I lived next to the White Mtn National Forest.. See a NH map and find North Conway look west to Bear Notch Rd...
The wrong place was my home, the weapon was a great dane and a 12 ga.... The bad guys weapon was a steel bar and what ever else he may have had. The time was apx 2:45 AM The month was Sept.
I only stopped that bad guy but for good.... His life has been spent weaving baskets maybe if the spinal injury allows it, he can not walk. Do I feel bad in the slightest Hell NO!
