When the armed robbers drop their weapons and surrender, they're not a threat.
Until then, you shoot to stop.

Or when they just drop, they are no longer a threat. According to Michigan la you have a right to protect yourself until the threat is gone, one way or the other. If I have any control over who leaves in a body bag, I will do my best to make sure it is not me.
You have great day and shoot straight and may the Good Lord smile on you.

That's what scares me, if the prosecutor get's his way.
