You can't provoke a confrontation and then claim justified use of force to end the confrontation you started. I'd say both men had forfeited their right to use deadly force in this situation.

There was a situation several years ago where an over zealos armed neighborhood watch guy was following three 13 year old girls in his truck because he thought they seemed suspicious. When the virus got to one of their houses they told one of their fathers that a creepy guy was following them. The dad grabbed a gun and went out to confront the neighborhood watcher. The watcher drew his gun and if I remember correctly they both fired but neither was seriously hurt.

The situation was so much safer because of all the guns the good guys had.

Moral of the story is that most of the time adding a gun to a confrontational situation makes the situation worse. Even if there is already one gun involved, adding another one will usually make it worse.

The no one was shot in the scenario I posted because thankfully the one dude didn't have a gun so when a gun was pulled on him he ran for cover. No one was shot. Many people were saying that it's too bad that he didn't have a gun so he could protect himself.
That would almost certainly just mafe the situation worse.

I started CCing. I’m now extra cautious to avoid confrontations, as I’ve always been. I never want to pull my gun, ever. But I have it if needed, and that’s comfort.

If you pull your gun be prepared for 3 things:

1. Legal ramifications
2. Major financial ramifications
3. Mental and emotional trauma

I don’t want any of those things. I would need to go through all of those things in order to pull my gun and use it. Saving a life, including my own, is the only reasoning for me.
