I own firearms and so wouldn't get involved in anything without them. If he were beating a little old lady to steal her purse I would be more likely to do something. But in this case I would just call the police like you did because the usual situation is this isn't the first violent incident between them and she is one of those pathetic women who stay in abusive relationships until she gets killed or seriously injured. And because of that she could well be ungrateful and turn on you too.

I'm gonna be applying for a handgun permit soon. Then these decisions will be easier.

Then what do you do? Yell for him to stop and pull out your gun, then he pulls out his and one of you gets shot? Your more likely to get shot with a gun than without.

BTW I think you handled this fine. Its really a sticky situation though, your only other option was yelling.

I wasn't being serious. I am gonna apply for a permit, but I was joking about the decision being easier. I wouldn't want to pull out a gun in a situation like that. The gun will be for my home only.
