popa: The question was about “feel threatened”, not actually threatened. Your example is of an actual threat.
Not really. Actual threat would be if he was actually planning to shoot you. But in my case, the guy may have been making a joke.
The point is you are allowed to defend yourself if you feel threatened and a reasonable person would feel threatened.
We probably agree, and in any event what I just wrote is correct.
And this thread is getting dumber and dumber, as people make up more and more facts about the story which they cannot possibly know.
