I'm trying to wrap my head around your statement, and am getting a headache.

If someone "shoots someone in defense of his life", (why not just call it killing someone) how do you then argue a "case of him just pedaling along and getting jumped."
You then say he "likely will not be charged." Likely??
Are you willing to be charged with manslaughter for killing someone just interested in your backpack?
Are you able to prove your life was in danger?
Is it worth the risk?
The testosterone increases exponentially on this subject as the thread lengthens. The recommendations for automatic rifles clipped to your frame usually starts around page 5. By then, it's shoot any bas**rd that gets in your way!
