Why cowards???? Some people just mind their own business and dont want to get involved because they have families at home that they would like to get to. Now if anybody decides to act, their chances of getting back home just dropped. Think of all the legal trouble you can get into. Im no coward, but I have kids to live for.

so when your wife and kids are being assaulted in a Walmart parking lot and nobody helps them how will that make you feel.

I don't care how it makes him feel. I don't care how it makes you feel. Your feelings are your problem.

The persecution of George Zimmerman was a turning point for me. I know that was in another state but I can't take that kind of risk for some stranger. Especially if one of the parties looks like an Obama family member.

I'm not going to get involved unless I have no other choice.

OTOH, and in other places, there is this.

Good ending to a violent attack Oldgringo. Its always good to read about men confronting evil and stopping it.

But OTOH, there's the case of the off-duty cop working store security who almost got shot by a CHL holder because the woman he was attempting to detain was yelling rape. And I remember a case a long time back where a cop in plainclothes was atop a woman yelling rape, but she was actually stabbing the cop, and a security guard, mistaking the situation, shot and killed the cop. What trouble might these guys be in if the woman yelling rape wasn't the victim?

Shooting someone isn't always the first action that should be taken. Fights and assaults have been broken up for centuries without going to the gun and shooting someone.

That really needs video of the guy with the football using it to knock the assailant down. Power and accuracy like that should make him a fairly early draft pick.

Common sense and judicious use of force and deadly force is recommended.

Too many people trying to play robo-cop. A lot of CHL holders think the plastic puts them at the same level as LEO's. WRONG! Unless you or a loved one is being harmed, STAY OUT OF IT. Joe Horn was lucky, you might not be

Helping someone in need has nothing to do with a CHL or being RoboCop.
Tell me this, your grandmother is being attacked by a much younger heavy woman and you have no issue with a 275 pound guy doing nothing to help her and you have not problem with that?

What if some guy grabbed your daughter on the playground and starts dragging her toward a van while everyone just watches. You OK with that?

There have been millions that have helped others and there were no negative ramifications.
