This is another example of why an “unarmed” man is a deadly threat & rates a justified shooting.

I am 66 and I carry. Suppose a 25 year old male who out weighs me by 30 pounds says he is going to beat my ass - well medically that is at least the intent to do severe bodily harm and realistically a death threat.

In the interest staying alive or not being crippled, I would then shoot this assailant. Then a local lefty local DA would prosecute me for using excessive force because the assailant was “unarmed”.

What a country.

No, the DA would correct. Ability,intent, imminence. The 6’2” 230 young man who yells that he is gonna stomp you has not met the test, yet. Now, if he is five feet away and begins closing in, fire center mass.
