Someone walked away with a black eye or similar and the other with a boosted ego. The shear fact that no one was killed and we’re talking about this today strongly suggests that deadly force wasn’t applied. If you had your CHL back then, someone would have gone home in a body bag.

What you're talking about is faith. Faith that someone who means to do you harm only wants to deal a little bit of it, that someone who may beat you into submission will simply stop there. I have zero faith in the mercy of violent criminals, I assume the absolute worst. I am a firm believer in the concept of bad things happening to bad people. If you break in to buffalo bill's house and he ends up wearing your face as a mask...well too bad, you shouldn't have broken in to buffalo bill's house. If you pick a fight with someone to act tough and end up in the morgue, too bad, you shouldn't get violent with people. If I had my way victims of violent crime would have absolute immunity from whatever they did to the criminal.
