The question is, how to do it and best avoid the ensuing inevitable legal hassles. One way is the "kill 'em and arm 'em" method. For example: when Milo had the punk in his crosshairs, he could have shouted something to make the guy turn around first, then blow him away, i.e., kill him. For heavens sake, don't wound him. Then, it helps to have an extra fingerprint-free Saturday night special lying around that can be placed in the guy's hand to "prove" that he was about to shoot you (make sure the guy's hand prints and pocket lint get all over the gun). When it boils down to either you or them, you'd better make damn sure it's going to be them! P.S. I learned this from a cop.
