I haven't read all the post, so this might be redundant, but I am terrified to hold a guy at gun point. Either he could draw, or suddenly his boys could show up and shoot me. I have every reason to believe he is armed. If I catch a burglar, car thief, whatever, and I get me stuff back, I'm gonna' yell, "get out of here!" If he takes one baby step toward me then I will empty my magazine in the man's exact global position.
It's just a fool's game. Even if you have cuffs handy, where are you gonna' set your gun down while you do it?

Re: Consequences For Holding A Bad Guy
Don't spend much time in Travis county do you Mr. Tam?The Annoyed Man wrote:It is inconceivable to me that a judge wouldn't throw such a suit out of court. You're in your home, minding your own business, and a burglar enters? He's darn lucky if he doesn't get shot - and if it's at night, you're well within your rights to shoot first and ask questions later. If I hold an intruder at gunpoint until the police arrive, and it is my home, I expect the police to say "job well done, we'll take it from here," and never hear about it again until I appear as a witness at the BG's trial. If not, I'll make mincemeat in the local press out of the judge, the prosecutor, and the perp.
I'm not havin' it.
