These things get worse if/when something gets to a jury. I'm a big dude at 6ft 290lbs, along with some tats and that 'grrrr' look when I haven't shaved. If I have the misfortune to be involved in a self-defense shooting with some mid-20s scrawny punk, a 'reasonable person' may think I had no reason to have an imminent fear mindset and should have utilized a different option, and thus think my shoot wasn't justified. They have no way to 'see' that I am a complete wuss, who has never been in a fight in his entire life, and is one step away from being a pacifist.

While concerns like that shouldn't be a factor in the split second time it would take to decide whether or not force is needed, it unfortunately often is. Something for some of us guys to think about.
