I was having a conversation with one person who said she would draw her gun and hold them at gunpoint. She also stated it was OK because she has her concealed carry license. Do you think that is the thing to do?
If you answered yes, for your own legal protection, it might be a good idea to leave your gun at home. There's a very good chance you would end up in jail.
Your concealed carry license is not a police badge. If you think it is, may I suggest you find a police force to enlist, several are hiring. ALL your concealed carry license allows you to do is possess in public the best possible means to effect your self-defense.
Here is when force is allowed in Illinois...
(720 ILCS 5/7-3) (from Ch. 38, par. 7-3)
Sec. 7-3. Use of force in defense of other property.
(a) A person is justified in the use of force against another when and to the extent that he reasonably believes that such conduct is necessary to prevent or terminate such other's trespass on or other tortious or criminal interference with either real property (other than a dwelling) or personal property, lawfully in his possession or in the possession of another who is a member of his immediate family or household or of a person whose property he has a legal duty to protect.
However, he is justified in the use of force which is intended or likely to cause death or great bodily harm only if he reasonably believes that such force is necessary to prevent the commission of a forcible felony.
(720 ILCS 5/2-8) (from Ch. 38, par. 2-8)
Sec. 2-8. "Forcible felony". "Forcible felony" means treason, first degree murder, second degree murder, predatory criminal sexual assault of a child, aggravated criminal sexual assault, criminal sexual assault, robbery, burglary, residential burglary, aggravated arson, arson, aggravated kidnaping, kidnaping, aggravated battery resulting in great bodily harm or permanent disability or disfigurement and any other felony which involves the use or threat of physical force or violence against any individual.
Be armed. Be trained. Be Alpha. (Part of being Alpha is to understand the law.)
