The fact is that I have only thought of the rather obvious cue which has also been noted by others here: Were I to see somebody shoot one defenseless person, then another, and another, it would be reasonable to conclude that said shooter is a bad guy.

But, what if I see one person shoot another armed individual, and then he turns to aim at me. That person could be the bad guy shooting a CCW who was trying to stop him, and intending to do likewise to me. Or it could be a CCW shooting the bad guy, and then taking aim at me, thinking that I might be a second bad guy. With no way to identify who is who, I honestly cannot think of a good method to deal with the situation.

Stan:

If you see someone pointing a gun at you, what will you do?

You can stand there and get shot or do something and maybe not get shot.
