Many years ago, I worked at a FLAPS. A buddy working at a different location was robbed after hours while he and another employee were closing up. My buddy snatched the gun out of the guys hand while he was distracted and shot him in the leg.

When the cops got there, they told him "if this ever comes up again, either kill him or don't shoot him." They told him "if you shoot that guy, and he has a permanent limp or something, he can sue you."
