the lawyer did not see that probability as being present. A possibility, yes. But not a probability.

so getting your head banged on the pavement only represents a possibility of severe injury?

I say again, your "lawyer friend" shouldn't be disbarred, he should be committed.

That’s what the NRA lawyer said. And it does seem a bit off. Since that day I have often wondered about his explanation of the Zimmerman case. I think he was honestly trying to apply the law as he saw it.

But I now think he was also trying to give us some legal advice. If you are involved in a citizen shoot, be careful of your wording when you give your statement to the police.

Actually, the legal standard is "reasonable belief" (of an imminent threat of lethal harm), not "possible" or "probable".

(Also note: rape is always put in the category of lethal harm)
