  My thoughts: It doesnt matter what I think. I wasn't there to see the stress, witness the punching, the threat levels, how badly he was victimized, etc... nor were you. It is one thing for you to place judgement on this man for pulling a firearm if you were there but you weren't. I bet your opinion was formulated by what was on your local liberal news channel all spun up like a tornado of engineered negative implications and publicity towards the man with a Gun.  I think that the man with a gun exercised great control in not squeezing a round off and dumping a worthless sack of excrement where he stood. I think he was exlemplary in his position to not pull the trigger and allow the perp to know that any further aggression would be met with a higher level of equalization. But then again I wasn't there so who am I to say any of this....  Just a hint at a way of thinking Mr. Hopyard. Now I am back off to what I was doing being a cowboy shooting everything that moves and justifying it perfectly only on this website and no where else simply because I am incapable of thinking in yours and others' acceptable way of normal.
