Tony, bat or no bat if someone is attacking, take action until they stop.
Escalate until the action is effective. Start at the level of violence that they use, as defined by the continuum of force, and proceed from there.
If the defender has a gun drawn, issue a warning and if the attacker attempts to close within two meters, end the threat. Best practice is two shots to the torso, one low and one high, center mass.
This is taught at every gun self defense course and to every cop.
If the attacker gets their hands on your gun, you are very, very likely to get shot with it.
Right. But he was dangerous before he threw the bat. Being 'dangerous' alone is no reason to shoot someone.
So in your view, it is more justified to shoot someone who doesn't hold a bat than someone who does?
