I'm sorry I wasn't more clear.
The numbered items were intended to guess what a LEO might do.
If a LEO were approached by the mob, don't you think he or she would pull their weapon and get the job done? Then would an average citizen not be legal in doing same? STOPPING the threat.

and further, if more of us good guys were CHL, then maybe more of us could respond to such a crowd

Re: Flash Mob
Interesting topic I am just reading about for the first time. Guess I live under a rock but have only heard about the flash mob thing recently. Are flash mobs a big deal in Texas?
Anyway, to help answer the question about what one would / could legally do in such a situation, what do you think a single police officer would do?
1. Call for backup
2. Try to save a person being beat up (probably only to be beaten him or herself???)
3. Fire some warning shots.
4. Shoot to kill?
Any LEOs on here that could answer from their perspective.
I guess this is another scenario I had not thought about, but sounds like one perhaps more likely that other BG scenarios.
Thoughts / comments appreciated.
