definitely all good points. but say it was me, i doubt i would have tried to fight them with no formal training. i would have either given up everything or pulled my gun if i was carrying. of course i rarely carry, it stays in the car since thats usually the focus of most negative attention. again im just trying to foster a discussion as ive read numerous real and made up situations on my xd forums and im just curious as to other peoples viewpoints.Originally Posted by Shemi13
Not to forget I was more concerned for my friend than myself... They got their licks in, but no one was killed and that's all I care about.

/\ to many repercussions if you pull a gun in that situation. Your word against 4-5 others. Unless of course you take them all down.I don't think an azz woopin counts for use of deadly force in this situation.

i believe in fl if you feel your life in in danger you can use deadly force

Bad part is you have to prove it in court. I wouldn't take my chance in this instance, just sayin.

I believe the law says if you are in fear of being killed or seriously injured you can use deadly force. Then again you will have to prove that in court. 3 year sentence if convicted if you exhibit your firearm an threaten someone with it.Ever heard the expression, " Shoot first and ask questions later"?

I don’t think anyone has any idea on how hard it is to take a life even if it is in self defense. Whether you have training or not it's not as easy as it sounds. It takes a lot to pull that trigger specially if you have taken a life before or have been surrounded by death. I think all ppl can change and we all make mistakes, so why take a life over something so stupid. I can take a beating and all wounds heal. But you can never give life back. It could be your brother, friend, son or boyfriend (not judging). That’s why I didn't pull out that gun. I’m not in combat and it wasn’t an order. Trust me if my life or anyone elses really was in danger I would have known and things would have been different. And yes in the state of FL I don’t have to retreat any more. If I fear for my life (or serious bodily harm) or someone else’s I can shoot to kill. In that scenario It was strong arm; 5 against 1 so if I shot to kill I would have been justified. Not hard to prove. But it's not worth it. And to those who think they wouldn’t have a problem taking a life I can prove to you it's not that easy, especially when you have done it before (unless you are messed up in the head like a serial killer). On that note…. Who want to go to the shooting range with me? Start a thread if you’re in and I’ll provide the guns and pointers for tactical shooting.
