I don't know about you, but pretending that a thug will keep his promise and not kill all the witnesses (YOU) after the robbery is believing in a fantasy. The thug might shoot you and he might not, but I'd rather trust my shooting ability than trust the ability of some low life to keep his promise. Tell me, if this human varmint walks into the Micey D's and asks to borrow $100 from you to buy meth, would you do it? Would you trust him to pay you back? Then why the heck would you trust him not to shoot you if you did not resist the robbery attempt by feeding 'em some lead?

Mind you if I saw them coming and could fire as they were coming in I most likely would take that shot but everything has risk and pretending otherwise is believing in a fantasy. I'll risk it and try and defend myself and others if I can but I also realize that in doing so it is possible that someone innocent in the store ends up shot where they might not if I don't take action. Of course I might also save someone, but there are no guarantees
