A young male tries to car jack you.  He has a gun. You have a gun.

Which would be the best outcome for both people?

Senario A : You get shot in the gut go to the hospital.  But you were able to shoot the young male who died.


Senario B: You shoot the kid and do not get shot yourself. You go home.

Senario C: you get out of your car. Take the gun from him and kick his ass. Call the cops and he goes to Federal Pound me in the ass prison while you go home that night?

I would say the smartest thing to do is let him take the car. Your life is worth alot more


What if you let him take the car, then unload on him as he drives away? Illegal im guessing but why?

If he points a gun at me, he forfeits his right to live.  I will do whatever it takes to ensure my safety.  Chances are trying to "take his gun and kick his ass" would put me in the most danger.

Illegal b/c your life isn't in imminent danger.

If he has a gun pointed in your face? I wouldnt be able to draw before he shot me, maybe some of you guys can. I would say draw if you were being attacked  or knew he was going to shoot you, but why risk it?
  If he had no gun I would beat his ass. But maybe I just have a different attitude because I will never be allowed to get a CCW. So unless I know or get the feeling he wants more than my car I think id let him take it.

Considering the way our current justice system works, he would most definately NOT go to Fed. prison and would prob. get out on paroll in a few years as a hardened ex-con violent criminal.
So the best outcome would be one less "evil-doer" in the world.

Scenario "D":  

You draw first, take his gun, his wallet, his cash, etc.  Make him lay down, then piss on his back.   Tell him if you ever see him again, you now know where he lives and he has 5 seconds to get out of your sight.   Toss wallet in trash and then about your business.

Wait 2 days, go to his house at night, hang around and let him catch a glimpse of you.   Let him see you smile at him.  

He's cured ! ! !

All options would probably set him free and land you in jail in ny but option c MIGHT give you a chance to serve a light sentence for battery.

I didn;t make it up.  I was a troll in another thread for saying I didn;t think that being shot in the gut was the best outcome.

So I just wanted to see if my view was really that far off from other CCW people.

But if hes a criminal then he cant go buy that gun in the store, so this situation is not possible in NY.

I would go with option d.

Talk to the troubled youth and listen to his problems, than I would take him to mcdonalds and give him a great big warm hug.

The best option is make the would-be car-jacker disappear and no one ever hears about the incident.

Thats the best way to find your self in prison for life over a dead beat hood.

When his body does show up and some how you are linked to it, it becomes murder quickly.
