First part is very true, but about the keep shooting part, the person might be in panic and not no if they shot them and if they are now safe because if you shoot someone in the leg but meant to hit like the stomach the person will still be able to shoot you so your not going to just shoot one time and wait to see if they fall or drop there gun because they might be fine enough to shoot you back

Although, If they do attack you, leading to you defending yourself, and then you both continue to exchange blows, you can still successfully claim self defense.

I have to agree i didnt know much about self defence and now i do so thanks man!

Thats true, but at the same time self defence is only what you get told to sick up for your self. If someone hits your your going to be pissed off and no going to stop hitting them back, simple

If someone is pointing a gun at me and for some weird reason I a resonable human being seem to have a gun also? And I SHOOT the other person I would not shoot him and then run? Just because you shoot someone doesnt mean they cant just shoot me when they are on the ground or just in pain leaning or something.. If someone was pointing a gun at me and I so happened to shoot them first out of defence I would shoot them tackle them or get their arms while they are on the floor, put them behind his back, out a knee on them and call the police

As for everything ekse yeah, I agree. I see videos on facebook of like "fights" that claim to be self defence and when the "attacker" falls or something the "victim" will kick them in the face or something.. At that point youve won you proved your point.. Once you kick someone after clearly winning its no longer self defence

ALSO I find it kind of funny how you of all people made this rant after you made downvotes on that kevin gates post.. Kicking someone is not self defence for reaching at your pants

Some people just don't know how to defend themselves at all like them preppy white girls in horror movies!

Equating school fights and justified shootings is a bit much.

Let's out it this way someone is holding up the cash register at my local quicky mart with a pistol. If I have a CC Pr even OC license I'm not shooting to hurt I'm shooting to kill. But if he gets hit and runs away like out the doors into the street that's where it gets questionable. He still has a gun and is in a populated area, do you proceed to chase after him? It is debatable.

As far as school fights go I don't give a shit. If I dislike you enough to wanna fight you I'm swinging first. That is stupid why would I give you a free hit we are gonna both be in the same amount of trouble.

So true though.
Most people don't actually know what self defense is.
And, @ the begging you said if someone hits you and you beat the crap out of them, if they started it, they deserve a painful ending.

Im not saying that the person doesn't deserve it, but they can't claim self defense.

It's just people that think they're the strongest person out there, that can beat the fu*k out of anyone, but clearly can't if they won't do anything or say anything to there face.

I haven't thought of that before, but i agree. People act tough but won't even throw the first punch. If im going to fight someone( At my school it doesn't matter if you started it or not, your both getting arrested and fined $750 unless the other person just assaulted you) im going to want to get the first punch on them and then just continue, letting someone else get the first punch is not a smart idea, because all it takes to knock someone out is one punch and your done.

All the above statements are bare shocking... A painful ending? Pahaha, get real. You're swinging first? They can get you on assault, gl with that one. Getting the first punch? You're the aggrevator then...

I suppose when you lot grow up your mindset with change, I've never had a fight nor will I ever, there aren't many situations that can't be dissolved by conversation :coffee:

Please read what i typed in the original post, i said "For example, if someone points a gun at you and you shoot them and they drop the gun and start to run away, that is self defense, but if you continue to shoot at them after the threat is gone that is not self defense." I said that they already dropped the gun and were running. But what you said is also true.

Disc wrote alot of people take self defense too far and think its okay to fully beat the crap out of someone but in some cases its right, if the person is big or you're scared they will get up and keep trying its necessary to keep hitting them until they're unable to continue

Someone downvoted you but I completely agree with you! If someone wants to get in your face and start shit then once you've used their self defence keep hitting them. They wont come back after a beating. If you just use self defense then stop, they know you aint gonna go any further and they'll keep mocking you. *speaking from past experience so you cant say its BS*
