Do you have children? I owe it to my children to be there for them.
You'd want a really good therapist. Military folks who come back, who have been put in those situations.....it doesn't sound like it's something they will ever forget, nor want to repeat. I remember meeting a Marine friend of my ex's who had just gotten back from Iraq. Later in the night after they had a few too many drinks, he got weepy about a child on a bike who had a gun aimed at them. He didn't go into details at all, just kept mentioning how it was the worst situation he had ever been in and I believe it. It's a moral dilemma.

I've seen hurt people, I see hurt people daily coming to the clinic, but the look in that young mans eyes, thats a completely different and deeper level of pain that will probably always be with him in some shape or form. I don't wish that on anyone and I hope none of you ever have to be in that position.
I'm a Vet. I can assure you that I've seen that look many times.

you also want to be sure that the gun they are pulling is real, and has the safety turned off before you fire. Otherwise you might be the face of a new antigun law, or heavier restrictions on CHL applicants and renewals.
I don't know how to tell if the safety is on or off on the gun in another persons hand 10 to 20 feet from you. That kind of hesitation could mean my kids have one less parent.

ETA: I've read articles dating back to 2010 were criminals are painting real guns to look like fake guns. Such as painting the tip of the gun orange. Another tactic to make you hesitate.

Re: What would you do if a 10 year old pulled a gun on you?

Studies have shown that a persons worldview is set by their 9th birthday. Unless these kids encounter a life changing event (I think most of you know what I am alluding to) their future is pretty much set in stone.
The last thing I would want to do is take a life regardless of how long that life has lived. However, the end result of a trigger pulled by a 10 year old is just as deadly as a trigger pulled by a 40 year old.

Faced by someone with a gun that I perceive to be a threat to my family or myself I will do what is necessary to ensure the safety and security of my family. Period.
