The person hasn't threatened you persay but has the teller at this point...

You are asking for the standard on defense of others???

Ok, let me up the game. What if same thing happends only this time he pulls his gun and points it at the clerk?
Maybe you could go home and go to sleep at night with that dead pharmacist at your feet, not me.
I'd put a .45 right in his head, without warning.
It is NOT just "drugs and money."
This individual has declared that he is armed under circumstances where it is implied that he will use deadly force if his demands aren't met.
What if you decide to wait it out and he pulls the gun and puts one right between the pharmacist's eyes?
Whether or not he proves to be actually armed is irrelevant. Self-defense is based on what the shooter believes was happening. If the robber declares that he has a gun you have every good-faith reason to believe that he has one.
All that is required for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing.
i hate to sound uncaring with this post but...
ive decided to just mind my own business at the risk of sounding like an ass.
i know your scenario sounds very clear, and maybe in that case i would act. although i bet Walgreen themselves would prefer you didn't. (but i also use the drive through at a pharmacy, lol) but i dont think any of us should play out a scenario of what we definitely would do if it has never happened to us.
im not saying i definately would not act, but with the experiances you edited out, i would have to be very sure of whats going on.I would personally prefer some pos wouldn't commit murder in front of me either, and who cares what ask greens prefers. I bet the man behind the counter praying he sees his kids again would prefer that you acted.
Hi there,
I have a question as to how you would act in this situation. In my area there has been a string of wal greens and other pharmacies being robbed for narcotics. The M O usually is a man says he has a gun and demands the narcotics....
Say you happened to be in there at this same time this occurs..

duty to act? no.
could you? if the threat of violence is present (forcible felony), you certainly are within the law to act. IANAL, etc
