And, since you have now stated you are too old to take a single punch, that weighs into the equation. Is your attacker twice your size and half your age? Are there multiple attackers? Is he Mike Tyson? Or is it a little 70 year old mousy women that stands 5 foot tall and is mad because you took the last shopping cart at Walmart and decides to hit you. These are all part of what you must quickly assess before making the decision that anyone punching you will get them shot. Disparity of force HAS to be put into the factors before you make the decision to shoot.
