So if I walk up to someone in a bar and punch him square in the face, do I deserve to be shot dead in retaliation? I just intentionally tried to injure, right?


A others have stated the law says that if the person you just punched in the face feels his life is threatened, then yes he has the right to shoot you. If you don't like that, don't walk up to someone and punch them in the face.

It is amazing how people can't understand this simple fact.

bullshite. That is often times left up to a jury, and many times the person's claim of self defense doesn't hold up and the person is convicted.
