Who would you prefer to be in a frame were a soldier is pointing is aiming an unarmed person with a gun, the soldier or the person being menaced?

Your question is a little hard to read but I'll give it a try. \n\nI own several firearms and have a license to carry a concealed firearm on my person. I took the training and got the license because there are bad people in the world today. I know from experience that there are folks who would shoot me or my family, steal our money and possessions and not have a problem doing it.\n\nI won't sit by and allow myself or my family to be a victim for some low life who chooses to steal rather than work for a living like the rest of us. The Police are not able to protect us anymore. Criminals have more rights than the rest of us and they know how to play the system. Maybe if more criminals were shot before they were able to complete their crime, they would think twice before doing something.\n\nI also believe with terrorism on the rise, that Americans have an obligation to arm themselves and be prepared to defend  this country against foreign terrorists if need be. \n\nWho knows, Sept. 11th possibly could have been avoided if the people on-board the airplanes could have shot the hi-jackers before they crashed the planes.

Honestly, I'd look at them both and the one who keeps up the eye contact is the one I would ask for help. I've noticed that in public if a person doesn't want to help you they will quickly divert their eyes from you.\n\nIf they both divert their eyes from me, I then would start with the one closest to me (in hearing distance). Otherwise I'd just ask: Which one of you kind gentlemen could help me out?\n\nBy the way, I don't feel prejudices are so bad. I despise racism, however, on the grounds that racism to me is when a person is trying to dehumanize me because I look different from them.

`It all depends on who he was trained to kill and who he killed.\n\nMost military personnel are trained kill.  However, it doesn't give him/her the right to kill any one not considered an enemy by their government.

I've had some basic military training and I think that if I was on the streets on a patrol, I would not be totally alone. Because of this, my answer (thank god this is theoretical) would be to shoot the child as I would be saving the life of my entire squad. The answer would be the same If I was alone, as at that point it would be me or him. It might seem heartless, but that's the way most soldiers are trained. Wouldn't stop me having terrible nightmares etc though...

You bet - My life, or the person? I choose my life over the person doing me harm. I choose the life of a loved one over the person trying to do them harm. \n\nI own two guns and if someone comes into my home,  I'll see it as a direct threat.

Well, if it were up to me, you would receive a bayonet to the eye socket, but since our soldiers are the most disciplined in the world, probably you would just get arrested.\nBut this is a non-issue. Do you really think they would even notice you and your wimpy kick or shove. they would probably just think you were an insect pestering them.\nOh yea, one more likely scenario - most probably, the veterans who were just there paying their respects to their fallen comrades would take you out behind a large tree and teach you some manners.

Does not matter even if it is not a friend, the laws surrounding the act of 'SELF DEFENCE' govern this.\n\nIf you see somebody being attacked, threatened, robbed, you are allowed to use 'reasonable force' in order to stop that attack - this is classified as SELF DEFENCE - even if you do not know the person that you are defending.  \n\nThe big question is what can be construed as REASONABLE FORCE, for example, if you see somebody being beaten up by somebody else, pull out your gun and shoot them, that is nor reasonable.  However if you try to stop the person from beating up the other person, and in doing this the person that you have stopped is injured or dies, this can be accounted as REASONABLE FORCE - but helps to have a good lawyer to!

Live targets for the forces to practise shooting.\n\nBlind them and Brand them leave them in society to be judged and punished on a daily basis with no right to complain.

Rule of Engagement.\nDo not fire until fired upon by the enemy.\nDO not engage civilian targets

I would call it self defence.\nbut then I'm not perfect.\nI would also kill to protect someone else.

Dont worry about being a snich, thats crazy. The sonner you say something the better. Sorry for being so blunt but what if that gun kills someone you know or someone you love. Guns are made for one thing and one thing only TO KILL so stop thinking about it and do something about it.

i think it has something to do with arms the weapons definition. if you take up arms you would be up in arms -- you are ready for the fight.  can't find any verification of this so its just a hunch.

Personally I have guns and was raised listening to my father stress how important gun safety is because he was a sharp shooter in WW2. I can also say if I was somewhere and there was a robber, rapist, sicko, or any kind of person with intent to do physical harm or attempt to kill an innocent person ( or animal ) I would not hesitate to protect them if I had a weapon on me but I would try to wound them . Now on the other hand if they were to come at me or my family with intent to BTK etc. I would not hesitate to drop em. There was a case where a man was beating a woman in a Walmart parking lot and a man told him to stop.The man kept beating this woman until the guy with a permit took his gun out and shot the guy. He killed the man but was not charged because he saved the womans life.

If you are going to get your ass kicked, you must first eliminate any idea of fighting this person, because if you fight them, they will kick your ass if they are good at doing that.\nIf you are in that position, instead of trying to fight them, only focus on destroying them before they can kick your ass.  Because of this, all rules must go out the window...you should and must deploy any means necsessary to take them out.  If you think they are about to attack, you must make DAMN sure you do it first and use whatever you can find.....bottles, rocks, chairs, elbows, knees, your head, or anything else that will make sure you will survive.  And once you know you have the chance...Run....don't be stupid.\nAlso, a strong and fast throat jab will most likely stop any sized aggressor.  Eyes, groin, and the ever popular dual palm slaps to the ears which destroys their eardrums.

By international law (the Geneva Convention), neither a physician nor a clergyman can assume command of a combat unit - they are official declared "Non-combatants" and may not direct combat activities, be engaged in combat activities or carry any combt weapon. In return, these individuals cannot be specifically targetted by the enemy. Now before everyone starts laughing, I will very quickly acknowledge that what is written in law and what happens on the ground are two very separate things, but legally that is the straight story.
