Not only is trying to hold 4 adult males at gunpoint until cops arrive dangerous physically (4 v 1 even with a gun isn't easy), but you put yourself in all kinds of legal jeopardy. A liberal DA can make your life hell with false imprisonment charges and brandishing charges. Anytime you hold someone against their will (criminal or not) and anytime you point your weapon at anyone without firing it, you're in legal jeopardy.
