This is just my opinion. If you as a civilian with a CHL fired on the suspect, I think it would be a good shoot. In my position as an officer with the county I live in mortal fear of IA(internal affairs). Maybe that's a little dramatic but that tempers any idea I have of firing my weapon.

Perhaps Jepnstein could weigh in on this one.

Again, it's hard to say how one will react in each specific situation. If the suspect isn't facing me directly, I would probably go with my original statement. However, If the suspect is facing me, I have to take their word that they are armed and I would quite probably fire.
