Re: defensive situations - possible reactions/responses?
First and foremost, my priority is to protect my life and the lives of my wife and family. By interfering (playing hero) in a situation that does NOT jeopardize my priority is foolish at best.
Simply ask yourself these questions, will the person you are rescuing be willing to support your family, visit you in prison or change your Depends if you are dead, arrested or incapacitated? Second, did the victim have the opportunity to arm and train for self defense just as you did?
The first question being more relevant but my point of the later is more to the mindset of the sheep and I believe more important.
If the intruder is in your home and you have eyeballs on all your loved ones, stay put, stay armed and dial 911. This should address all your scenarios.
Law enforcement and military have contracts with it's personnel for care and comfort of you and your family in the event of your death or injury as well as legal aid. If you feel compelled to serve and protect, I offer my thanks and may God bless you.
