If you shoot someone in the leg you'll probably rupture the femoral artery, which is quite fatal indeed.

YOU'RE KILLING SMALLS.

so you rather have me shoot his arms knowing that i could nail him in the chest causing the person a very painful death?

[MetalSlimeHunt]

I would rather you not shoot him at all, if you can help it. Besides, the Brachial artery is in the arm.

[Virex]

If someone punched you in the face for no good reason, then I think that person is at the very least a complete moron and in the worst case a danger to society. To me that means they're fully deserving of a good jab in the chest, to teach them some manners. Just make sure to not let revenge get the better of you in such a case, and just do it to teach him how to behave you're good.

im talking about a self defense scenario, not the random mugger without a knife.

[Sowelu]

I believe that you are only allowed to retaliate if your, or someone else's, life is in danger, once the person stops you are not allowed to do anything.

Except, of course, get the authorities involved and lock them up for the amount of time that society has agreed is appropriate.

Oh you mean 2 hours of shoveling the local park if you're lucky?

A. Just to restate in case you didn't see the edit:

Besides, the Brachial artery is in the arm.

B. A gun is a powerful persuasion tool. Shooting the guy would be a last resort. Chances are that you just pulling the gun on him would be enough to put you in total control of the situation. I'd just tell him to drop the knife and get on the ground, then I'd call the police. If he tried to come after me after the gun is out, then I'd shoot him.

You're assuming that the police would be completely ineffective.

[Virex]

No I am under the assumption that if someone smacks you in the face for no reason at all, most judges will give them a few hours of shoveling as "punishment". You think people learn anything with punishments like that?

If someone made a habit of smacking random people in the face, I'd rather they got treatment instead of just being whacked upside the head.

Chances are that someone who hits someone else actually has a reason, or just a horrible lapse in judgement. No reason to ruin a person's entire life over a single outburst.

Sure, but how are you going to get stubborn people to get treatment? According to "human rights" or some other random UN declaration one can't force therapy on someone who doesn't want it...

[Cheeetar]

"human rights" or some other random UN declaration

Wait what.
Assuming you're being sarcastic- could you point out where people can't get therapy of any sort unless they want it?

[G-Flex]

Just a quick question, if someone were to hit me with their bare hands say out on the street and walk away, would I be in my legal right to attack them with something classified as a deadly weapon, ie. a knife? Also, I really need a link to the website saying this.

Why in the name of God would you want to escalate a fight like that? If someone punches you, and walks away, why would you take the opportunity to stab them? That's not only hideously unnecessary and bloodthirsty, but it puts yourself in danger as well.

Point of advice: Stop caring what the law says in that situation, use common sense, and act like a decent human being by not stabbing a dude because he smacked you on the playground and walked away.
