Sorry G26ster, did mean to take your topic in another direction.
I know what I would do.
I don't think age should have anything to do with it. That was my point.
If ANYONE is in fear for their life, they should be able to take any means necessary to preserve their life.
It only takes one hit no matter how old you are.
Didnt mean to hi-jack.

Re: I'm Puzzled by TX Law
Mike 1951,
I have read that thread before. It does make me think.
However, knowing someone personally that close to death, I won't take the risk.
As I stated, I have never been in a fight. I have never hit anyone and I have never been hit. I have no idea how to fight.
I am in sales.
I am REALLY good at talking and deescalation. That is why I have never been in a fight, I can and have talked my way out of it many times.
If someone comes at me and I warn them, I will not be hit. I will not get in a fight. I will stop it.
That being said, I am in kind of a unique situation. If the worst ever did happen and I was questioned as to the action I took, I could have my cousin testify.
This could explain my actions. My mindset based on his situation and the reason I was not willing to take that ONE hit.

Re: I'm Puzzled by TX Law
Food for thought.
My cousin, not a friend of a friend of a friend, was riding with a friend. He was in his early 30's. His friend did something in traffic that made another driver mad. That guy followed them to a convience store. My cousin got out and was immediately hit in the head. He went down like a ton of bricks and fractured his skull on the curb. As luck would have it, there was an ambulance at the store. They scooped him up and took him to the hospital. He spent a month and half in the hospital. The doctor told him if the paramedics hadnt been at the store he would be dead.
Granted, a gun would have done him no good. He never even had a chance.
Point being, the guy hit him once. ONCE, and he almost died.
Makes me ask myself, what am I willing to take? I have never been in a fight in my life. Ever. I am 38.
If you come at me, I will warn you and then I will stop you. I am not willing to take that ONE hit.
