re: #164 Obdicut

So much hinges on what a ‘reasonable’ belief that you have to act, is. So far, it’s been interpreted as any movement towards you, which is just nuts.

To me, this reminds me of the classical Quaker pacifist parable. If you come across a guy with a smoking gun and a body, and you shoot him, you’ve got to be prepared to be shot yourself when the next vigilante arrives on the scene and sees you with the smoking gun and two bodies on the ground.

And what if there were two concealed-carry guys, and one of them thought the other one was drawing his weapon? Or really did draw his weapon— perhaps in response to some perceived threat?

The fastest draw wins I would imagine.
