May I suggest that you take Charles Cotton's use of force seminar at the first opportunity?

Surely will do. The more knowledgeable we are the better decision we can make.

I understand your point, and all the time, the disparity of force plays a great factor to justify the use of deadly force where the actor believes the use of deadly force is necessary and needed for self-defense.
A prosecutor can just throw at your defense, "wasn't the actor aware of availability (on the market) and the use of non-lethal weapon such as pepper spray or a teaser gun? A mere attempt to convince the jury that you deployed an excessive force.

As I mentioned earlier, I may be inclined to carry both my wife's pepper blaster and my EDC.

and one more:

Sheer pain.

I hate to watch a 6:00 PM news flash, that says "The Annoyed Man' shot and killed a Marines soldier whom he had had a verbal argument with. The marines was not armed.

Surely, enough the news would not elaborate nor indicated that the deceased was verbally and physically aggressive.
It does not sound good no matter the way you look at it. It would cost tons of money to exonerate Mr. The Annoyed Man.

The case of threat of use or actutal use of deadly force against threat of assult or actual assult (fist fight) came up many times. With current laws on the book, I conclude that a CHLer is adivised to carry:
A) Non leathl wrapon such as pepper blaster or teaser gun
B) Your every day carry.

I prefer pepper blaaster since it can be deployed up to 14ft away and cost just $40. Not sure if there are similarly sized teaser guns that can fired at distance

First, desclation and second calling 911 is a good idea
