This has me wondering.
If you are down range, and a person picks up your guns to steal them, are you legally allowed to open fire? Or do you have to wait for them to shoot at you first?
There's a difference between an idiot checking out your gun without asking because he's curious, a thief who just wants a clean getaway with your piece, and a killer who will shoot you in the head for your piece.
Very little warning if it escalates from #1, to #2, to #3.
So at what point do you send lead flying their direction?
