After looking at HB 378, i wonder if "unlawful deadly force" would include an old fashioned beating. By that I mean that someone could begin threatening you with a fist fight or country rear kicking. Would that be a threat of deadly force?

I'm about to turn 60. If some other 60 year old threatened me with a beating, I might not be afraid of being killed, but wouldn't want to suffer a broken nose either. I might be inclined to use deadly force to prevent the country rear kicking that was imminent because I shouldn't have to tolerate such a thing.

Whearas if the other guy was a huge 25 yr old, I might be justified with being afraid for my life and using a firearm.

So does the threat of unlawfull deadly force mean that you have to be afaid that the situation could result in your death or does it apply to someone giving you a beating as well?

And yeah I know that any beating can result in a death.
