Then you have the nerve to chastise the OP for what his buddy did and how "stupid and potentially criminal" his behavior was and in the next breath talk about confronting someone for basically the same thing?

So you're willing to confront someone after arming yourself with a gun over that person kicking a can in the road. And then get into a gunfight if the persons you confront take steps to protect themselves or talk back to you. And yet the other guys are stupid and need to think about their behavior.

Yeah....I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around that.
and then there is the fact the man left his residence and his property line to confront someone after having initiated a verbal confrontation.


edit: and Yes, I am in agreement that deadly force could be seen as justified against an aggressor with a baseball bat. I believe that is included in the "serious bodily injury" section.
