I haven't been on this board f1or a week, lot's to catch up on.
My first thought on reading the OP's post is this scene is a tactical nightmare.
Even if the situation esculated to the level where presenting your firearm is warranted there is no way to fire a round without endangering the innocent people in the area...or given the range of your projectile, who knows how big an area.
a shot here would only be warranted as a last ditch effort to protect one's life.
Knowing that you never present your weapon unless ready to use it, this could be a no win situation.
Many have made a case for pepper spray, and I always carry some whether armed or not. I may be a safe option in this situation.
I'm one of those guys who can't help but get involved when someone else is threatened, but it's imperative that you asses the risk involved as to whether you should get involved or not.
Helping your fellow man, or woman, is one thing, but foolishly risking your life does not make you a hero, nor is it fair to those who depend on you at home.
And for us older guys in our retirement years, well just remember that we can't do what we used to be able to do.
