A gunfight in a Venezuelan store raises the question of how should an armed individual respond when an attacker has beaten one to the draw.

Your home has just been burglarized. You were away while it happened so you check your surveillance cameras to get a bead on who it was who took your stuff. Later on, while you’re out driving on the road you suddenly see the suspects pass you in another vehicle. Either way you’re calling the police, but do you wait on law enforcement to arrive before confronting the suspects or do you grab a firearm and pursue them yourself?
