"Threat of force is justified when use of force Is justified" (9.04) and "Use of force against another person is not justified: (1) in response to verbal provocation alone" (9.31).
Or am I interpreting this incorrectly? (I'm new to CHL in general so I could definitely be wrong, and definitely not a laywer).
