Thinking of getting my CHL and was wondering.

If I'm at a gas station getting a coke and a guy comes in and pulls a gun on the clerk, can I pull my gun on him and call the cops?

I would think yes but with the liberal society we live in now I would probably get thrown in jail

You already don't sound responsible enough to carry.

frick no. Unless he starts shooting, keep your mouth shut and your gun out of sight. You might want to take it out of the holster and crouch down out of his sight, but at that point he has his gun already out and you don't, so don't get yourself or the gas station clerk killed trying to be Clint Eastwood.

I think you can drop that motherfricker.

RS 14:20. Justifiable homicide
A. A homicide is justifiable:
(2) When committed for the purpose of preventing a violent or forcible felony involving danger to life or of great bodily harm by one who reasonably believes that such an offense is about to be committed and that such action is necessary for its prevention. The circumstances must be sufficient to excite the fear of a reasonable person that there would be serious danger to his own life or person if he attempted to prevent the felony without the killing.

ETA: This is not legal advice.

Those questions need to be asked at your class to get you license.

Further, if you're going to carry, spend $500 and get trained properly. In LA there is a group of guys who train that created the first person defender series on YouTube.

Good luck!

In Louisiana, you can pull your gun out and pull the trigger.

Never draw on a drawn gun.

Laws allow you to do that in some circumstances in some states.

But if you're going to carry, don't be a policeman. Either use your weapon to defend yourself or another person, but don't do citizen arrest shite.

Most likely, if I unholster a firearm to point it at another person, absent some pretty immediate action by the aggressor to concede, someone is getting shot (me or him or both). Which means that I had a good position to take that action and that I thought serious bodily harm or loss of life was about to occur.

If your question is about stepping into the shoes of a victim to justify using force, the answer may well be yes depending on the state. Just don't grow comfortable with the mindset you're going to use your gun to hold people until the cops arrive.

Seriously, the possibility of this because of increased number of conceal carry permits is a greater deterrent than going to spend some time with yo uncle up at da state pen and receive 3 hots and a cot on the tax payer dime.
