Bogie:
So, you're on a subway, and one of the passengers is being assaulted. Raped. You don't see weapons involved.
 
Nobody is doing anything.
 
You are older, not gonna get into a wrestling match with a young man - you walk with a cane. And you're not carrying the heavy one.
 
Can you shoot the guy?

Under most state's laws, yes.

Not sure about Pennsylvania.

MechAg94:
I would say yes where I am.  I don't know what the use of force laws are there. 

Boomhauer:
The real question is can you shoot the mob that is going to try to burn your house down for shooting Dindu.

RoadKingLarry:
As mentioned it will depend on the laws in your jurisdiction. In Oklahoma you would likely be good.
