I was just watching head games, and it brought up an interesting scenario.
In this, they had an actor sitting on a bench, who spoke with an unsuspecting test subject for a moment theh asked him to watch her laptop for a moment while she went to the bathroom. They then have a second actor, posing as a thief, try to snag the laptop to see how the test subject would react.
This brought up a question for me as to how I would react in this situation. I certainly wouldn't want to just let the laptop walk away, but I'm not sure how the eyes of the law would look upon me drawing on an individual to stop them from stealing property that isn't even actually yours. I also don't really think that entering into a grapple to get the laptop back is a smart option, considering it puts the BG in a situation he could potentially get at your sidearm.
What say you, INGO?
