It would have been far better for Bully, his family, and a multitude of friends, if he had simply called the police and let them handle the situation. I my opinion, it would have been totally different had the woman gone into the house and started screaming or gunfire had erupted, but she was relatively safe with Bully outside.
i can't even begin to tell you how much this happens. i get apartment managers who tell me all the time that they take a friend or relative "who has a CHL" with them when they have to speak with a rather aggressive tenant. or someone going through a divorce, boyfriend and girlfriend breakups, etc., they'll take along a CHL holder. i would imagine that most CHL holders are willing to oblige because they want to help a friend, but feel prepared for any danger because they have a gun.

having a gun on you doesn't mean you don't have to use your head anymore. it means you just took on a whole lot of responsibility and the first part of that responsibility is to avoid a deadly force situation whenever possible. i'm honestly quite surprised this situation hasn't happened more frequently.
