Armed Robbers Off Limits

this might be a little off the center of the topic, but i recently learned that CCW holders are forbidden from shooting an armed assailant in the process of robbing someone else - say, a convenience store clerk - unless the assailant is accosting the CCW holder personally.

i think if an armed maniac enters a store one is in, one is plenty endangered and justified on that ground alone, but apparently the law is that if it's not our hide it's not our business and we should just duck behind the slurpee machine until the clerk is dead and the assailant gone, or face murder charges.

this struck me as perverse and an insult to the concept of civic responsibility, but there it is.
