Well, you live in America so people are probably carrying grenade launchers in their pocket.
I live in Chicago on top of that, I don't expect grenade launchers, but I would expect to be shot in the face for no reason. Or set on fire and then shot in the face(Yep, happened recently near me).
This is still a very contextual situation. I'd feel justified to shot a kid if I believed he was likely to be a suicide bomber, but how likely that is depends in a number of things. The same thing here. Not my fault you expect every "thug" to be armed to their teeth.
Not sure why you need to go straight to suicide bomber. It could just be a thief willing to kill if necessary. Or maybe someone who isn't planning to kill, but is still capable of it.
I don't expect every thug to be armed to the teeth, but I also don't expect to be able to tell what these people are thinking and my life is more important than theirs lol. So I wouldn't risk it.
