Thin ice. I’d be very reluctant to consider settling a continuing dispute with a weapon.
The new Pennsylvania “ Castle Doctrine” Law also protects you from civil suits from the room temp. perps family .
If someone's coming at you with killing in their mind there's really no alternative. Other than dying, that is.
Then, take your beating from a drunk man who wants your wife and pray to Gaia that you survive and can have a beer summit afterwards.

A man comes to my home and threatens me with a club? Castle Doctrine invoked!
Turn it around: You go to a man's home with a club and threaten him. You expect to be invited in for tea and crumpits? Don't be on it. Castle Doctrine invoked! You won't know what hit you.
LESSON #1: Do not threaten anyone with violence--especially in his/her home or place of business. Castle Doctrine!
LESSON #2: Relax. You can sleep peacefully at night knowing that your children are safe in their beds because violent criminals who would harm--or kill!--them are deterred by the Castle Doctrine--and that you are safe from harm if you stop them should they try!
