i realize that different states have differnet laws but in general if you witness a felony in progress are you under a legal/moral (but mainly legal) obligation to give the bad guy a chance to cease and desist before stopping the threat? most of the time i find these examples somewhat silly due to endless variables, but im going to throw a basic example out anyway. you witness a robbery at gunpoint and fearing for your life or the life of others you decide to react. must you yell "freeze" (or something similar) and give the badguy a chance to lower his weapon before plugging the guy in the back?
