where do you draw the line:

would've you have a 2million dollar lottery ticket in your wife's purse?

would've you have anitvenom for a snakebite and are heading to your bro-in-law's?

ourageous examples? no...two examples of an infinite amount that could ring true.

whether he can chase or not isn't based on whether he has a gun. Therefore, he is allowed to chase. I get your point, property isn't as important as your life and ambushes happen(Sioux Indians used this tactic to Perfection)...amubush might be wrong word(going by your example), but the Siouz would show up and let you chase(basically gave you a rope and let you hang yourself).

If you chase and this person turns to "whack" you, you are justified to shoot otherwise head off with the grim reaper for an early unplanned, impromtu dinner...
