Again, I am thankful for those that are willing to help others in time of need in spite of risk to themselves. Our country needs more people like this man.

Amen to that. Where are the comments about, "a horse and a saddle don't make you a lone ranger"? Seems to happen every time someone offers a hand while carrying a handgun.

....

I would never advocate not helping someone who's life was in danger but there's a big difference in potentially taking a life and giving somebody a little rope burn. I wouldn't have pulled my gun to save a bike either.

Nobody is saying someone should pull a gun to save a bike. Where did you come up with that?

I didn't say anybody did.

Many people do advocate just being a good witness even when someone else's life is in danger because of the danger and potential liability.


You did say you "wouldn't have pulled my gun to save a bike either". Nothing was said about pulling a gun so, why even go there? Just trying to understand your point.
