Re: Patron foils PNC bank robbery.
No.
To justify the shoot there needs to be an immediate threat of death or serious bodily injury.
It could even be argued that the CC escalated the incident and put everyone at risk of a potential shootout.
If you are armed and witness a retail establishment robbery, you should only get involved if it has turned violent or is about to turn violent.
You will also need to justify your use of force after the fact, and you may be charged if you are unable to justify your shoot.How can you have any cookies if you don't drink your milk?

Re: Patron foils PNC bank robbery.
I'd like to live in a country where criminals worry about guys like this "sticking their nose in where it doesn't belong". EVERY gun owner that believes in the concept of deterrence should applaud guys like this. You're right, he wouldn't have been justified in shooting the perp, but I imagine he was saying "Give me a reason!"

Re: Patron foils PNC bank robbery.
Where I bank I open carry all the time and I know others do too. Lacking a posted 'no guns' sign on the door, the bad guys would have to assume that armed customers may be inside which could be a hazard to their well-being.
Should the day ever come that a 'no guns' sign be posted, the possibility of a bank robbery there goes up exponentially since that works to assure the bad guys that no one is around to foil their plans.
It seems to me that NOT posting a sign on the door is the wiser thing to do!IANAL. I don't give legal advice. I'm only stating my OPINION.
(Did I really need to say that on an Internet forum? LOL)

Re: Patron foils PNC bank robbery.
Our tort laws should hold property owners liable if they disarm everyone without providing alternative security.
If your local bank dimmed the lights and required every customer to wear sunglasses, they'd be liable for everyone who tripped on the rug. Because they would have increased the chances of that happening, and it was obviously foreseeable that it could happen. Same goes for creating another "gun-free zone" and not providing an armed guard to take up the slack.Attorney Phil Kline, AKA gunlawyer001@gmail.com
