Right Justification

Can the armed citizen justify defensive display of a firearm or shooting to stop a physical beating? [More]
Of course, but less successfully (legally) if the beater has a badge and disarmament edicts are in place.

Just ask Karolina Obrycka.

David,

I don't know if you heard, but Michael Savage was ambushed outside a restaurant in California. The thug also kicked Teddy.

I listened to Savage on the radio the day after and he said he was traveling 'light' - otherwise, the outcome *might* have been different.

I believe this should have been posted here:

God forbid this scenario ever happens to me, but I'm not letting anyone punch me, even once. I've read, and seen videos of one punch deaths. These days, the thugs aren't satisfied with just knocking you down. 3 or 4 of them likely put the boot to you once you go down. Nope, I'll take my chance with a lawyer and a jury, if it comes to it.

I think Savage is a loud-mouthed fraud and don't believe he travels "heavy" or would know what to do if he did.

For some, it depends on who is being punched:
