Self Defense?

[brokenscout]

Either way it's a losing battle. Cost me 15000.00 for a fight that I didn't start. Two witness said I started it. After court cost lawer cost and medical bills time off work not to mention the sleepless nights wondering what I would be charged with. I was found not guilty but had to pay his medical. Not worth it! Walk away and tell him to roll away.
You don't want it to turn into a felony

But sometimes you can't walk away.........

I agree . I'm sure there are many that wish they did walk away.

each situation is different, best to defuse the situation, get away from the situation, and if unable, end the situation with the least amount of force necessary to protect you, your family, or the person as risk.

Wow, there is a lot of stuff to try to remember in a moments notice when your life is on the line in this thread.

Bottom line: Dude or dudes come at me with the intent to do me harm I will draw and warn once before killing if I'm unable to remove myself from the situation safely. The law supports me in my defense. This idea that I need to fist fight them first is bullshit. The sooner idiot macho tards realize picking a fight can get you killed the sooner people like me don't have to worry about having to kill someone to enjoy life w/o fear of bodily harm.

I would rather get asskicked (punching and kicking) and have other guy face criminal+civil action than I kick someone's ass and face both action.

If my family is in danger, it is a different story.

What you seem to forget is that a fight could also end in someone losing their life. What if you start throwing blows and someone pulls a knife or another form of weapon? What happens if he overpowers you and takes your firearm and then kills you and anyone else who dares challenge him? What if you don't have your firearm and he pops you once and you fall and hit the back of your head and die or the same thing in reverse? Don't think this is possible? My wife watched a kid that they used to go out partying with in Lincoln die in this exact fashion. They left a bar at closing and some dude started shit with him. He wasn't a consenting party to a fight so he tried removing himself from the situation and instead the dude chased him down, punched him one time in the face. He fell backwards and struck the back of his head on the sidewalk and never woke up.

This isn't boxing. There are no rules, no referee to make sure things are fair and no agreement to follow specific rules.

Whether you believe it or not every fight is a fight for your life. If you're willing to gamble your life on it then good for you. I'm not and criminal law supports my decision to protect myself with up to and including deadly force. There is nothing cowardly about refusing to be a victim to some meat head or thug who thinks he has something to prove just like there's nothing manly about proving you can fight. It's stupid.

If only more people realized that...
