I was living at an RV park in Southern Oregon a while back I had a Suzuki Samaria with the top off and had just pulled into the local short stop for something. The little girl came flying out the door yelling stop that guy he just stole some cigarettes. I saw this kid with his arms full running down the road so I took chase. About half way down the road he dropped everything and then turned into an open field and headed for the 6 ft. wood fence in the back. I chased him right up to the fence but with the tow bar on the front I didn't want to hit him for fear of braking his legs. If I would have known Oregon laws at the time I would have plowed him right though the fence.
Any way he made it over the fence and I bet he crapped his pants as he went over as I was fractions of an inch from him.
On the way back I picked up the cigarettes and gave then to the young girl who was running the counter. The cop just stood there and took his report and did nothing ask me nothing and I supposed did nothing to apprehend the thief. I sometimes wonder what we pay these guys for.
In Oregon if you see someone breaking into a car or house or if someone is in your house you can blow his brains out with no charges. The law says that he shouldn't be there in the first place.

PS unless a city specifically prohibits it you can carry a weapon on your side as long as it can be seen. Or get a concealed weapons permit from the local Sherrif. My buddy has one because he carries a lot of checks and cash at times, he has a local dealership for a paper and at times has a lot on money on hand.
