But what if you're stealing the gun of a criminal?

Two wrongs don't make a right.

Taking the gun off a criminal threatening you isn't stealing. Taking the gun for yourself afterwards is.

Not always, for example, it would be seen as acceptable if a person needs to steal food to feed their family.
If you mean in the context of pirating games, there are probably 2 exceptions:
If the game can no longer be legally bought or imported (Because of a studio shutting down etc).
If DRM makes the game unplayable. You paid for it, you deserve to play it.

Only by you. The stealing is still bad. Needing to feed your family is merely an acceptable excuse by popular opinion. However, would it not be more acceptable morally to ask first, meaning it is no longer stealing, but merely accepting a gift?
Besides, what if, unknown to the person that needs to steal food to feed his/her family, the shop worker is quite poor too? What if the shop worker ends up losing his/her shop and products because the landlord is angry that he/she alllowed thieves to take food?

Man, I hate this debate. There just doesn't seem to be a morally correct side. Everyone loses.
