How do you detain a criminal at gun point?

[2aguy]

Most criminals are smart enough to run away, or surrender when faced with an armed victim.........about 200 a year are terminally stupid and end up in the morgue....

But...

If you are forced to defend yourself and you end up with one or more idiots at gun point as you wait for the police........how do you coral them so they can't continue to attack?

If they run away, that is one thing....do not shoot them as they run.....but you may be facing them for a few minutes or more until the police arrive....

Do you have them lay on the ground? Do you have them kneel? Hands on their head or if they are on the ground out to the side?

Just wondering...

For our European friends....you will simply be a victim, beaten, robbed, or raped, so this thread doesn't really apply to you....

Detain? I am not law enforcement, if i pull my weapon i will use it. Period.

Best to just defend yourself and your property. Let the police track them down.

I don't pull out my weapon unless I intend to shoot it.
That said, I have used my dogs to detain those that trespassed and either threatened me , or the dogs, or were stealing/committing vandalism.
Of course, my dogs are trained for that, and one of them tracks.
That's right, I have a crazy white bitch that will track you down to bite you. (That's meant to be funny, but it's true)

Pulling a gun out and NOT shooting ... that's a real bad idea ... that's a good way to get your gun taken from you ... and that's never pretty ...
