      A guy tried to rob me at gunpoint in 2016. I had a canister of 18% pepper spray on my key chain. He wanted me to go into my own pockets to give him what he wanted, mistake on his part. When he looked over his shoulder I sprayed him. If I had been carrying a gun, I might have hesitated to use it because of the finality of it. Hesitation could have gotten me killed. No sane human wants to kill other humans. Because pepper spray is nonlethal, I didn’t hesitate. Yet, some states like Michigan forbid stun guns and pepper spray over 2% concentration, while handing out firearms like candy on Halloween.

      I partially agree: I think a lot of “self defense”-claims are bullshit on the basis that in most cases it’s possible to walk away. Stand your ground laws and cops “fearing for my life” is among the worst excuses for lethal force there is.

      But given no other choice, when someone’s life is genuinely in danger, I think it’s justified, unless you caused the situation yourself.
