I would do my best to stop him, and help him escape if necessary*. I wouldn't hurt him. I don't know how I would feel towards my brothers later on in life, but up to this point anyway, I can confidently say that though I'm many times not content with them, my brothers >> any random public.

* As long as there are no children getting hurt in the process. If children are hurt, I'll shot to kill.

Nope. I value his life more than most others. I'd help him get away with it, but the odds of getting away with a mass killing are pretty low I would think...

SCENARIO: You are with your bro and something pushes him over the edge, he whips out a gun and starts blasting randomly at people. By the time you get over the shock of what is happening, there are 10 bodies lying on the ground. You are also armed.

Would you shoot him? If so, would you shoot to kill or wound?

I don't think my training would allow me to do anything but double tap and finish to the head. That being said if I had the presence of mind to control myself I might try to incapacitate in that instance. If it was anyone but my brother (or my daughter) I'd just drop them.

I will stop him as long as I don't have to hurt him. Once we've escaped though, I'll beat the living crap out of him (well, to a point..).

I would fire all 7 shots of 357mag from my S&W686+. Hopefully that would stop him. (I am not the best shot.)

It depends...is he also shooting at me? If he is then I would probably point and shoot without taking the time to aim for a spot that is non lethal. If he is just shooting other people then I would go for the legs.
