Re: kidnapping - OK to shoot?

Example:

Presumed Kidnapping:
You are picking up your child at school and observe a grown Male and Female child coming from the school entrance. You see the Male physically dragging the child to the car. The child is screaming and trying to get away from him. You can clearly hear her screaming "I don't want to go" several times as the Male physically puts her into the car and drives off in an aggravated and somewhat reckless manner.............

Would you intervene? Would you use deadly force if the Male approached you within your safety zone?

REAL STORY:
The Male is the girl's Father. On the way out of the school she has told him that she wants to go to McDonald's. He is running late and has an appointment that cannot be missed as soon as he can drop her off at home with her Mother. When he said "no" to McDonald's the girl goes into a fit of rage and the Father reacts as delicately as possible to get the girl in the car and get on his way. She is screaming "I don't want to go" (Home).

Conclusion:
As others have stated.......do not get involved unless you actually see a weapon. Even then I doubt that I would get involved without knowing the person. Be a good witness and keep your wits about you.
