State law variations can really mess you up.
Here in NM it's perfectly legal to involve yourself.

Couple of things to consider:
#1 Are you sure who the BGs are?
#2 Are YOU up to the task?
#3 Are you physically capable of dealing with it.

For me, not getting involved would be almost a sin.
#1 I was raised to help my fellow man
#2 I have spent 27 years in the protect society mode,it is habit (maybe a bad one)
#3 Seeing people being victimized really gets in my craw.

I do not see how any human being can refuse to help his fellow man in time of danger. It is the highest possible level of moral behavior. We do not have a GS law here, but the local Rotary gave the last guy a prize.

I have been dealing with my state rep and senator drawing up a list of revisions and additions to our state CCW law that I think would be proper.
Thanks for the idea, It's going on the list.
