Correct me if I am wrong but a person is not required to give someone a “free punch”. I don’t think we are required by law to suffer a certain amount of injury before resorting to deadly force.

I am not a cop (now) and I don’t believe I am required to attempt to physically subdue someone.

BTW. If it is a full grown man, woman, or a teenager it will be an automatic response from me upon getting punched. If I am sent to prison for that, so be it.

If whoever punches me, hits the bulls eye, it won’t matter anyway because I will be dead before the police or ambulance gets there.

Being too quick on the trigger is worse than being too slow. Without seeing what was happening, you can't make that judgment. A single punch to the body does not necessarily justify use of deadly force and if you jump the gun (no pun intended) you will end up with a charge of manslaughter that you will not beat.

A single punch to the body will get you shot.

Sure hope I never have to serve on a jury where you shot someone for one punch to the body.

If possible, I will not even take one punch to the body. If I am being threatened and have time I will tell the perspective assailant to stay back and if I have time, warn him that if he attacks me I will shoot him.

If he advances on me in a threatening manner I will shoot him and anyone else threatening me.

I have stated on another forum that I walk with a cane (sometimes barely), and one punch to the body could kill me as I have a medical device implanted in my abdomen. If he manages to get one punch in, he will surely not get another.

How would you vote on this one Keith?
