I can you explain to me some gub laws you have in your country?

I was wondering, is it legal to shoot to kill someone who's trying to assault you with non-lethal force?

For example, you get into an argument with some guy. The guy tries to punch you in the face you pull out your gun and kill him

Is it legal?

No, but it depends on how the prosecution tries to charge it. If you're getting pummeled and think you're gonna die, that might hold up in court. One punch in the face you're going to jail . It has to be clear that your life was in danger.

Yes, it is. If your carrying a firearm and someone punches you randomly in the face for no reason, it's absolutely reasonable to argue in court that you were in fear for your life. If you were knocked out by that punch, or forced the the ground in a struggle then the other person could potentially gain access to to the gun your carrying and your not only at fear for your own life but other people in the area. Who knows what a violent person who has just committed assault would do to you or innocent bystanders if he got a gun at that moment, so it's justifiable that you blow his brains out.

That said, you need a level head if your carrying a gun. You can't bait a black person into punching you by calling him a nigger or provoking a fight. You need to avoid such situations by the best of your ability, don't go to bars or alcoholic frat parties, but if you do your part and still get caught up in shit, you end it fast.

You can pretty much get away with it especially if you have a carry license

That's not likely to be legal, no. But if you can prove that you REASONABLY thought that your life was in danger because of this dude, like you had seen him flashing a gun or a knife, and he had somehow expressed a desire to use it on you, then MAYBE.

Only if you fear for your life.

So yes. How can he refute your claim, he's dead.

at no time is it ever "legal" to kill someone, but it can be legal to use deadly force to defend yourself, this is called justifiable homicide...trayvon martin is a classic example of this.

In Iowa I can kill someone for committing a felony against myself or my neighbor, if I remember the law correctly.

>assaulting someone is non-lethal force

How about I assault you and see if you live you fucking mexican piece of shit
