Okay heres the situation.... This actually happened to me today, well most of it. Youll read where it becomes a what if situation..
There was a threat of physical violence.
I am a lifeguard at the local city pool. As some of you know if youve ever been to the pool youll have scum and thugs come and give you **** all day. This guy in particular gives me crap everyday. He's 26.... tatted up and has no job. The scum i was talking about. Today he got especially on my nerves. I gave him a few warnings like i always do but today he went over the edge. Him and his buddies started harrassing me while i was on duty and i said to stop and then they completly start dropping F bombs and calling me a *****. If that wasnt enough the bigger guy says if i tell them what to do again he was gonna smash my f ing head in when i got off work. At this point that crossed the line and i was a little freaked out. So i just ignorned them and they went to a differant part of the pool, cussing as they went. I go get my manager and have them kicked out of the pool. Which is protocol for a situation like this. They start hassling him, he is a 50 year old man... He eventually gets them calmed down and they all leave. At this point i thought the situation was over. Well i rotate to my next stand and i see them all in the parking lot standing by the fence starring at me. I was like "oh great". So i go get my manager and the cops come and make them leave the property. The situation is over. At this point the whole ordeal is over with for today. Tomorow who knows..
But here is where my question " Would i have been in the wrong" comes into play. Say the cops didnt come... And they stayed out there until we closed. Which was about 30min away. But say i would have went out to my car and all four guys follow me out there. I keep my G19 in the compartment between the seats. But they are following me cussing me out and i get to my vehicle open the door to keep that as a barrier between us. I grab my glock rack a round but keep it hidden from them on the seat. I tell them to stop where they are at, at the front of my car, or you will be shot. For some dumb ass reason they start towards me, i pull out my gun and shoot them all and drop them. 15 rounds on 4 guys would be enough i would think especially at less then 7 yards. Would i have been okay to use deadly force in that situation? Would i have been okay to shoot all four guys or just the one in the front? Enlight me on what you would do with this situation... If you feel i left out any key statements let me know and i will explain the best i can
