In this episode Kevin and Tom get started talking about whether you can detain a lawbreaker and traveling in your vehicle with a gun. They then move on to cover your responsibility or lack thereof should you walk into a robbery or assault in progress. Should you get involved? Is it smarter to walk away? These are potentially life-altering choices you must be prepared to make on the spot. Also find out when it’s legally defensible to use your gun in self-defense in various situations, if you should consent to a search by law enforcement, and whether you should carry a round chambered in your carry gun.
