[Para Bellum]

What would you have done:

I once was in a gas station looking for a special chocolate. Then a biker came in with his leather-suit AND helmet AND shades on. Gas stations get robbed a lot arond here. They therfore all have a sign at the entrance asking bikers to take their helmets off.

He went straight to the clerk and had a little bag in his hand, big enough for a weapon. I silently positioned myself in a safe angle behind the biker, hand on my guy, 12ft away. The biker paid his gas and went away. Everything very cool.

If , however, he would have threatened to kill the clerk with any weapon, I would have had a very good chance to stop the threat without endangering any innocent bystanders. There was just a fridge and a wall in the direct line between myself and the bikers head.

So I would try to optimize my position in order to maximise my chances for a successfull interference if such action became necessary.

Take care,
PB
