Unfettered Might

my thoughts exactly.
if you dont think so then just ask the poor girl that recently had her head bashed in with those steel toe boots. it put her in a coma for several weeks. i think that situation would fall into the category of deadly force. especially if the aggressor persists.
and face it. most fist fights now days aint fist fights. they start that way, but quickly turn very violent. read the paper and watch the news if you dont think so. kids and most criminals use weapons now days cuz thats the cowards way out. and if i can prevent a hospital stay by pulling my gun then so be it. nobody said i have to squeeze the trigger. thats only if the moron insists on continuing. :angry:
She should have acted. At some point in that fight I'm assuming she expressed the desire to retreat from the fight.
I will agree with your assement of most fights nowadays. My generation was probably one of, if not the last one, that using weapons were frowned upon.
Unfortunately, if you were facing an equal opponent and you pulled your gun and they were not armed, you would go to jail. There is something called the Lesser of Two Evils defense and it would not apply to you in that situation because the threat of physical violence does not justify the threat of deadly violence.
You can only defend yourself on what you know not what you think.
