Originally posted by slayer View PostThat is not true. You have the right to defend yourself no matter what. If i'm carrying my weapon concealed, a person walks up and hits me in the face, I have the right to defend myself with my fist or my weapon. Please reread the laws people. If you walk up and hit someone in the face, provoked or unprovoked, you are looking at a felony assault, you would then possibly lose your right to conceal carry.

No, but if you start a fight with the Dude over the dog poop and then start to get your butt whipped so you resort to your gun the yes, self defense is out the window.

Originally posted by slayer View PostAgain, not true. From a very well known attorney, key words, if you feel for your life, you have the right to protect yourself in any fashion. Proven in a court of law.

If you are the instigator in a fight you could still claim self-defense in court and likely a jury will determine if it was truly self-defense. There is always the what ifs.
For example what if you instigated a fist fight. The other guy without justification pulls out a knife and tries to stab you. Just the fact that you wanted to fist fight doesn’t necessarily negate your right of self defense against a knife. Was the other person‘s use of force of a knife against your fists reasonable? If not then I would think a jury might see you have the right of self-defense by using deadly force. I saw plenty of fights when I was in school. If they were just duking it out and one guy pulls a knife, does the other guy lose his right of self defense against an unlawful deadly force simply because he wanted to fight?
Remember the law self-defense says the state has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you had no right to use it.
That is why I think that you might be possibly correct that if you start a fight it will look unfavorably on you but there is no law that says you lose the right of self-defense.

Op never once said the guy had a baseball bat ! They were going to play flag football, so I don’t see were a bat would even come from. Keep your distance, ask politely, and keep walking. That way if he pursues you, what ever happens, will only help your case. But if it turns into a fist fight and you lose, go your marry way, you are not in a life threatening situation unless he pulls or threatens you with a weapon. Even then keep trying to go on your way and let him pursue you. You won’t win in court, if your not in fear of your life, (as in he has pulled some sort of weapon) , a regular old *** whooping, its not justifiable cause. It’s a poor excuse of a man, that thinks they can resort to their weapons for any reason what so ever. It’s what is eating away at our second amendment right now. Then you have morons on here thinking they can shoot someone for any reason that might hurt their feelings. We are in a world of hurt as a country right now, and even some of the things here prove it, society is going to “ poop”. It’s easier to shoot a guy, then punch a guy, and risk getting punched back, friken crazy !Last edited by critter69; 05-01-2021, 01:57 PM.

Originally posted by flywise View PostI don’t think so..... didn’t George Zimmerman harass travon to the point travon decided to kick his rear end before George shot him?
No matter, it goes by the laws of FL and not Texas.
The claims of Zimmerman harassing or chasing Martin down was speculation. The only real evidence is the 911 call and that appears to show that Zimmerman did not chase Martin down (which I think would have been nearly impossible).

Agree
Mine was a general statement but you could throw 100’s of plot twist at it that that statement wrong.
