Honest question:

If I am packing, am sucker-punched, and shoot the perp as they are running away, will I be Zimmermanned?

There’s a good chance you will be in trouble if you shoot someone in the back.

Yeah, with the difference being that you will lose and be found guilty. The threat has to be ongoing, or forthcoming, and a running away person poses no threat.
