If it's worth pulling your weapon, it's worth pulling the trigger (at least in that situation). No citizens arrest stuff. I'm originally from Albuquerque (moved to TX about a year ago). They had a similar (slightly) situation there recently where a BG robbed someone at an ATM, and them, while the BG was retreating, the guy that got robbed pursued the BG to his car in order to effect a "citizen's arrest". The BG shot him dead.

For me, the moral of the story is: An LTC is not a peace officer designation. We have NO business attempting to arrest anyone. If you feel threatened enough to draw your weapon, you better feel threatened enough to use it (and answer for it later).

Condolences to the victim and his family.
