No. It would not be legal in the US. One does not break the law to prevent someone else from breaking the law without facing the charges of their offense. Two wrongs don't make a right, people. Let them take their money, then get picked up by the FBI two months later.

...except it isn't always breaking the law in that case. Anyway, there are robbers who will shoot people even after they comply with everything. I don't know if it happens at banks in particular so much, but it certainly happens.

Self defense laws regarding killing the aggressor only apply in your own home or property. Also, the person must be killed in self defense withing your property boundaries. If they are wounded, but still alive, then you are the offender.

However, in a public domain, these laws do not apply. You cannot kill in self defense when in a public location or government building: and every bank falls under one of those two. Also, many banks prohibit concealed fire arms; something else you would be held accountable for. Of course, this is all based on US Federal and Texas state statutes.

Hypothetically, say you go to a bank to withdraw some money, and all of the sudden someone pulls out a gun and says it's a hold and he's taking everyones money. You have a gun with you, are you legally allowed to shoot him? Or not, because he's not posing a direct threat to you?pink_floyd123
