Tom makes a great leap forward! There is a big difference between judge, jury and executioner and making a citizen's arrest.
Congratulations.
Meanwhile Tom you should be aware that being armed generally poses more risk to you than to anyone else. It is your choice. Wanna get into a tug or war for a gun with a desperate twenty year old? Your choice.
I have been robbed at gun point a couple times and robbed at knife point a couple times (never in Hawaii). One thing that impressed me was having to deal with a dummy. Dummies aren't logical. Don't count on your gun convincing a dummy that they should stand still while the police arrive. I got out of all my scrapes intact with minimal losses and no injury. Bad experiences but experience none-the-less. I am here to tell the tales.
I sincerely hope you never have to translate bluster into a nightmare.

Assume the best and ask questions.
