Personally, I feel some people are too quick to pull a firearm during a simple fist fight. What ever happened to settling things the old fashioned way?
In terms of deadly force. If you sit there an analyze the law too much, you'll never carry nor will you ever draw the firearm.
To me it's like this: I'm not a criminal, I am not a vigilante, I am generally a law abiding citizen. If I truly feel the need to use deadly force then I am going to trust the fact that I used reasonable judgment and that a jury of my peers would do the same thing.
You don't have to worry about the law if you are doing the right thing. However, pulling a gun on someone because they hit you in the jaw and broke it is an unjustified use of deadly force. Here in NC, you cannot defend yourself with deadly force until you are threatened with deadly force (or someone else is).
