I'm sorry, but it is no one's responsibility to defend / protect a 3rd party. Not even the police. A CHL does not provide additional levels of responsibility pertaining to the welfare of others. As 03Lightningrocks said, "I think most of us here would intervene if we saw a person being physically attacked. I know I would in some situations and not other situations."

I agree with that. But I do not agree with you saying it is my responsibility.

:tiphat:
Big emphasis on the bit in bold text.

Legally, we have no obligation. Morally, well...morals are between a person and their own belief system/deity/conscience.

If you feel like its your duty to intervene in others confrontations, that's fantastic. They even made a job for you...you can sign up down at the local police station.

Your responsibilities end when you put yourself in danger for a stranger.
No. They do not. You may choose otherwise.
I have no duty or obligation to put my life in danger for a third party. I may choose to do so, but it is not a responsibility to do so.
Yep! :tiphat:
