I'm not saying trying to stop a madman is a good or bad thing, but you need to realize that there are a lot of issues to deal with if you decide to do something.
WOW!

I don't know how you folks were raised, but if you are a man, and are armed or have the physical ability to stop a madman, then you have a civic/moral duty to do just that!

In that moment, I could care less about figuring out the legal ramifications or civil law implications, just do the right thing! If you can't figure that one out, then yes, just run home to momma.
