If I feel I'm in danger then I'm throwing the first punch or pulling my gun before I have someone aiming a gun at me during a robbery...

Yes I have used OC on several and even that made me feel bad. It's not the damn dogs fault, it's the idiot who owns it. Wife bought me a body cam over a decade ago for just this reason. She was scared one time when I came home and Animal Control and Police had been to the house. I told her it was only because I was swearing out a complaint against another dog owner. Owner got real upset that I told him I would control his loose dog for him and he wanted to make it a fight. A$$hats with dogs like that always seem to blame everyone else for the problems their dogs cause.
Exactly. Had one neighbor who got fined multiple times that I know of over his damn dog. He of course hated us. His excuse each time was his neighbor would not fix his fence. He looked dumbfounded the one time when I told him you're neighbor does not own a dog. That means it's not your neighbors job to make sure the fence between your house and his will hold YOUR dog in.My wife has been there twice with the same neighborhood Rottie. Tho she has CC, she hardly ever carries unless we are traveling. Anyway, they lost in court both times. The 3rd time their beautiful dog would have been put down by Animal Control. But there was no shortage of them cussing us.
From article;One killed, 5 hospitalized in San Antonio mall robbery 'gone really, really bad' One killed, 5 hospitalized in San Antonio mall robbery 'gone really, really bad'
So sad that one good samaritan was killed.
Thankfully another had a concealed handgun and shot one of the suspects.
Jewelry store? nope.
Now if it had been a Bi-Mart...
2 bystanders tried to intervene in a jewelry store robbery in a San Antonio mall - the first was unarmed and was shot and killed by the robbers, the second, a concealed carry holder, engaged them and shot one of the two robbers, the second got away.
Not sure what to make of this one. It doesn't sound like the CC holder was in any danger until he decided to engage the robbers, so I'm not sure if I would agree that was an appropriate use of a concealed handgun. Maybe he was trying to save the other guy's life? It isn't clear from the available info just yet.
The police are already indicating they are putting blame on both bystanders for intervening and making things go from bad to worse - no doubt the anti's will jump on this one to try and make the case that private citizens shouldn't carry. Personally, unless someone's life is in immediate danger, I don't see the reason for a private citizen to try and engage robbers like these - it's just stuff, insured stuff, let them go and let the cops track them down - jewelry isn't worth losing your life over.
Here are two articles on this:

''If your gona do something stupid. Be smart about it.''
This was not.
People need to be aware of there surroundings! Situational awareness is critical if you get caught in a situation like this. What if you feel threatened but don't have a clean line of sight to the shooter? You don't want to put more lives at risk.
Our ex neighbor had 3 rotts. 1 was a good dog 2 were out off control. One had bit my brother's leg when he went to visit and another time they surrounded my daughter on her quad when she killed it out riding. We turned him into animal control. He came up running his mouth about living in the country and how dogs can run free. I told him I was going to walk down the road in front of his house and out a bullet in every dogs head that came to greet me. He ran his mouth some more and I politely asked him to step outside and to keep running is mouth. He decided it was best to leave and watched his dogs much closer.
Also these dogs had attacked one of our pound adoptions on our property that required many stitches on her belly. Before my daughter was surrounded.
I think once it became an active shooter scenario things change. Even if armed I'm still trying to find cover.
That was the knife shop manager wasn't it? At the Tacoma mall?This was what happened here many years ago. Some kook kid shot up one of the malls here. Only real injury was some guy who tried to be a hero. CPL holder saw him, had his gun out, could not bring himself to fire as it was a "kid" in his words. So he holstered his gun and tried to disarm the kid by telling him to give him the gun. Kid gave him the bullets instead. Amazing he lived. He soon changed his story after he realized he looked like an idiot. He had cover, if he could not make the shot FINE. Stay in cover and wait.
