Let’s say an upstanding public spirited citizen of Virginia is carrying and some geek is holding up the line in front of him hassling a clerk, and he pulls a gun on the clerk that means the geek just turned himself into fair game.
Yup, and if a Virginian doesn’t like a guy walking around a line of docile serfs while everyone else is submitting, so he pulls a gun to shoot the guy walking around the line, HE has made himself fair game, too...it goes both ways.
