“I’d hate to have to consider risking my entire future over involving myself in someone else’s domestic abuse problems.”
It would really bother me forever if I didn’t help her
I can see that. I agree. Who knows what you or I would have done. We weren’t there. But I’d like to think I would have stopped the beat down. Told the victim to get in and I would take her to a safe place and call 911.
Even at this.... I imagine having to draw against the perp.

Yes, when one is a ‘decent human being’ that is the first thing that crosses one’s (my) mind.
While I realize that we don’t REALLY know what the reaction will be in a real time situation, I have often told people that know I carry (specifically in a bank) that while I am on the premises, they can feel just a tad safer than usual but if a ‘regular’ robbery is taking place, I will be following orders (or laying in the corner ‘sobbing’ and tending to my ‘fake heart attack’) until it appears the situation is ‘turning south’.
Granted, that is a fine line but.......
I did tell the bank MGR, (young W guy) that if I go into my ‘act’ don’t worry about it or point it out, I am merely positioning myself for the ‘Central (Frontal- if possible) mass shot’, to much ‘splainin to do if you shoot the SOB in the back.
Premeditated? Not really.
Pre Planned? Yes, ALL situations and possible situations, while driving, walking, carrying etc should have a scenario to be hopefully carried out—successfully if possible.
