Shooting someone in the back is good tactics. Special forces snipers do it Fighter pilots do it and the pilots intentionally get on the enemy's six.

If someone thinks those guys are cowards, it's not even worth debating in my book.

...agreed!!! just because an armed thug can do a quick pirouette, he doesn't earn a pass...what if it's YOUR wife a mile down the road that he picks for his next target...and she EVER finds out you didn't stop him when you had the chance

EXACTLY!

I have always been confused by folks who try to put a dollar limit one what they would shoot for. "Ok, I wouldn't shoot for $13, but I would shoot for $XXXX"

I would never presume to be able to assign a value to someone's life. Once they have decided to attack/rob/etc. me, they have made the decision of what their life is worth, which may not be a whole lot if I am not carrying cash that day. God willing this will NEVER happen. I have no desire to ever take anyone's life.

I'm not in a position to disagree with a man who thinks his life is worth whatever I happen to have in my wallet. He knows his worth as a human being better than I possibly could. If he thinks that his life is worth $13, or the value of a used TV, etc., that's his choice.

...if he snatches it and runs, he may be hungry...if he threatens my life to get it...he's just plain evil...seems simple to me...
