C. Why take a chance on him killing her while waiting on police. I would then plead insanity.

It's a Mother thing...... YOU'R GONNA DIE SUCKER!!!!!!!!!!

Try to kill them and then call the Police....Wow what a question! +5 Makes ya think.....But it is your child!

I would probably dial 911 on the cell. I would make sure I had the phone. I would then go through with method B or C. Screaming so the 911 dispatchers hears and sends somebody. Maybe before I kill them or maybe not. But then they can't say you just killed somebody for no reason.

well if had agun to her head and threatened to kill her if i came any where near her. I would not call the cops. I would hand him over that easily. Because if i ever caught him.

Kill them with a clean shot to the head will cause him to release his gun, then bury him in the backyard. Who wants to waste many days and hours in a courtroom because of a scumbag. Oldtime justice prevails!

BANG! rapist gonads fall to the floor... 30 long seconds for him to wonder what life will be like without scrotum.... Then... BANG!!! Rapist has third eye centered above the other two... Dial 911 I yell... "STOP OR I'LL SHOOT!!!" Then BANG!!! I hang up the phone so the dispatcher doesn't have to hear the second two shots.

I could imagine I would take that gun from him so fast and beat him with it. he would be begging me to shoot him with his own gun. but I can reason that it would be better to shoot him with mine first for legal reasons. Now consider this. Your daughter is being raped, then she has a man killed right over her. would she be comforted by that result? Either way you have some work to do now to keep her mind straight.

He'd be dead. Period.

i would kill them first but then i have a license to do this.

Click, click, boom, he's dead.

bang your dead

None of the above.

B. The rapist may go on to do something good later in his life. Not likely, but he could.

i hope this didnt really happen but in fear of shooting her a iron skillet or baseball bat should workthen a few swings at his testes forthe heck of it too

Well I would scream at the top of my lungs so the neighbors can hear I would scream fire that will bring help faster,, Call for help,, keep the phone line on, so the dispatcher can hear everything. Then I would lunge at the punk and try to yank him off while trying to get my daughter away . I would beat him to the pulp, and or make sure he will never pee naturally again. Then if the judge releases the punk back into the public I will vote the judge out the next term, and help campaign for the judges opponent.

Deadly Force is the force in which a person uses for the purpose of causing, or that a person knows, or should know, would create a substantial risk of causing, death or serious bodily harm. The use of Deadly Force is justified only under conditions of extreme necessity as a last resort, when all lesser means have failed or cannot reasonably be employed. Check Self defense or the defense of others. Nope Defense of assets involving national security. Check Defense of assets not involving national security, but inherently dangerous to others. Check Protection of public health or safety. Check Prevention of serious offenses against persons. My check list says he is one dead guy. What would have stopped him from killing her if you came home later? He could be holding one of your guns.

I would not hesitate to kill.

i would grab him by the hair with my gun to his head tell my daughter to get out of the room and booom ps if i had a daughter

I'm still trying to work out why you would even consider shooting your daughter - unless you are a muslim of course and wishing to atone for the dishonour to your family.

First, I would come up behind him and remove the gun. I can move very quietly and know how to disarm and knock out an attacker. Then I would start. He would be begging to die by the time I was done with him. I wonder exactly how much of his own gun would fit up his arse. I think I could get quite a bit up there. I always keep a roll of duct tape on hand which would take care of that noisy screaming problem. The duct tape would be handy for immobilization uses because I would check my daughter first and take care of her before I started on the rapist. His body would not be found. I know about American "justice" and I know he would get off with nowhere near what he deserved. 911 would not be involved and his body would be deposited in bits over a multi state area.

Well, considering that shooting him even with a pistol round will likely result in overpenetration and possible harm to my hypothetical daughter, I'd have to say a good hard blow across the back of the head with a bat. This assumes of course that he doesn't realize I'm present, if he knew I was there I'd take my chances with the shot. If he survived the shot or bat then it would be time to hogtie him, gag, blindfold, duct tape, and cuff him to ensure he absolutely doesn't get his hands or feet free to get the gag out of his mouth. Then back the truck into the garage and close the door so no one else sees me loading my human garbage up. Take a nice little drive up to the woods followed by a short hike to a secluded, almost never travelled spot back in the woods I know and cuff him to a tree a good hundred yards off the trail (what passes for a trail at any rate). Hamstring him so he can't go anywhere even if he should get free of the tree then tie a couple of steaks around his neck. Considering the prevalence of bears, mountain lions, and other predators in the area I'd give him about a day at best. With any luck I'd be able to find a tree with a nice ant mound reasonably close by so that he suffers horribly the last few hours of his life. Or just sodomize him with a broomstick, THEN call the cops sense I know most of them. But I like the former option more since I'm more of an eye for a head type of guy.

You describe a circumstance, but the devil is in the details. EXACTLY what I would do depends entirely on those details. I was once DR'd in a similar question for stating this, but it IS true. I cannot say for sure that I would shoot the guy. Because the details of the encounter may prevent that. I cannot say that I would call 911 right away, because the details may also preclude that as well. One thing I CAN say is this: Given an opening, I WOULD use deadly force. Paraphrasing the definition the darkvox gave in his answer (obviously military in origin, as it's the one I learned many years ago), deadly force it that which maims or kills. (The Weapons Officer at my first command smiled at me when I gave him that definition and made me look up the official one and memorize it!) The applicable circumstance which 'authorizes' the use of deadly force in this situation is the threat of serious bodily injury or death of my daughter. Now, given the choice, this is what I would LIKE to happen: 1. Call 911 FIRST. Backup is essential. And if this guy gets away, he's a danger to others as well. Calling for help lets others know what's wrong in case the situation goes even further wrong. Otherwise, I risk total failure should I be killed. Then my daughter has absolutely NO hope. And I will put the phone down after the original information is passed, maintaining the connection so the police can hear and be kept informed as they approach. 2. If I can take him down without him seeing me or knowing I'm there, and have a reasonable chance of doing so without him harming my daughter, I will. "Take down" means with all the force I have available to me in as deadly a fashion as I can. I will NOT be shooting at his knees or gun hand as a method of taking him down. 3. If I cannot take him down without being seen, then I will have to put myself in the best mindset I can. Because I'm a damn good shot and if I can take a squirrel in the head with my pistol, then I can take this guy without hitting my girl. He can't hide behind her completely. 4. This may sound strange. But I will risk a non-life threatening injury to my daughter by me in order to stop a certain death to her by him. I once had this discussion about the use of deadly force with my wife, many years ago. She does not agree with me and thinks I should shoot the bad guy in the knee or something. I do not, and CANNOT agree with her. If the circumstances arise where I am considering the use of deadly force, it's because I truely believe SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE IF I DON'T! That said, it's him or me: once I pull a weapon under these circumstances, it will be with the full intent and purpose of taking his life as the ultimate solution. I cannot afford any half measures on this, and if I'm not willing to do this...I might as well never pull my weapon out. Other options which don't include guns are also available. And I'll use them if required.

Assuming that his gun will not discharge due to the impact: I would quietly call 911 and immediately shoot him, then tell the 911 operator where the coroner can pick up his body. Of course, my youngest daughter is a 4th degree black belt (trained in many styles of martial arts and weaponry) so the guy would probably already be in small pieces or begging someone to please arrest him when I got there.

C. A and/or B would give the rapist a chance to kill her

Kill them dead....

HE WOULD BE DEAD MEAT.I WOULD THROW HIS BODY TO THE HOGS IN THE BACK BARN,HE WOULD BE TORN TO PIECES AND EATEN.

Maybe I would just stay paralyzed there, maybe I would run away and call the cops, maybe I would attack, maybe I would first take some deep breaths to calm down. I am not sure because every situation is different, and I would handle according to the moment and the situation, and to how I would feel. I think that my first reaction would be to try to knock that guy down by all means, without any other consideration, like evaluation of my chances of success, police backup, or possible damage to me or my daughter. Except if it would be obvious that I had no chance (for instance if there were more than one of them). This would presuppose immediate, surprise action, otherwise the person could use my daughter as an hostage and I would want to risk her life. I don't own a gun but I could find some heavy objects as weapons to knock that person down (I just noticed you did not precise if the aggressor was a man or a woman). As soon as I would have a break, I would call the cops.
