It is a common mistake to get too close to someone who is held at gun point. Action beats reaction, so the first to decide to act has the advantage.

It's a sad commentary that when I first saw the headline "TN:16-Year-old Girl has Gun Snatched after She Stops Burglary", I thought that the gun had been snatched by the police as part of the investigation/post burglary retribution and that her parents better buy her a new one.

I didn't even consider the idea of the burglar snatching it.

Shoot an invader in your home - good.
Run after an invader and (attempt to) shoot or threaten him - not good.
It's much harder to claim self defense in the second case.
Not impossible but it's a much steeper uphill battle and outcome far from certain.
Especially if you're 16 and not supposed to have unsupervised access to guns at all.

Presuming she didn’t go outside with the gun holstered, she had it taken away because she was unwilling to pull the trigger. Joe Biden tactics don’t work.
