I've never been put into that situation, but I HOPE I would have the fortitude to do what this good Samaritan did.
Why?
Because sheepdogs do not carry only to protect their own life. Sheepdogs, by definition, are there to protect everyone. By not stopping a bad guy in the act of a violent crime, you are allowing this person to put someone else in danger again in the future.
It's the same reason I carry a current CPR card - or should I only perform CPR on people in my own family?
You never know when/where the gunman intends to stop. If you did, you wouldn't be there in the first place.
