Hypothetical (sorry if this has been asked before):
Someone's been sneaking into our office building and stealing laptops. I work late at night and I'm often armed. Let's say I catch the robber, draw on him and tell him to stay put. I call 9-1-1 and while I'm waiting for the cops, he tries to flee.
What would you do? It's probably not legal (or morally right) to shoot at him. I thought about putting a round near him (but I'd be afraid of over-penetration) and if he knows I'm not going to shoot him, he's just going to run. Any suggestions?
