Can you give me an example of this scenario? A hypothetical situation?

I'm imagining all sorts of things, like you standing on a dock when someone who never bothered to learn to swim falls in, and they are in need of rescuing but you let them drown. Rather than let my imagination run wild, can you give an example of this? I know we're talking about guns. Is it that you wouldn't save an unarmed person because they should have been armed?
