@nathancatecrimdefense: Legal myth: he hit me first, so I can shoot him. Deadly force requires a reasonable fear of death or serious injury. A punch alone doesn't automatically get you there. #Nashvillecriminallawyer #SelfDefense #TennesseeLaw

A punch could 100% be lethal, it has literally happened, any bit of unknown health issues or even known health issues could cause major issues from minor head trauma.

a punch can be lethal and getting knocked out can be lead to serious medical complications especially if the attacker doesnt halt their attack

What if there’s a clear imbalance where a very large strong man could kill a very small woman with one punch?

Legal, moral, and Ethical. Need all 3 to pull a trigger, you can walk with 2 out of 3 but its risky. People have hit moral and ethical but not legal and walked.

yes you can shoot someone if they hit you however you have to be able to prove that the amount of force you used was necessary to neutralize that threat so in other words if he's literally trying to beat you to death you have the right to put him down however if he just punches you a couple times and then stops and you have no right to fire

Tennessee is a lame state. my state allows lethal force against any felony act... as it should be.

And how are you going to know that you are only going to get a single punch 😏 so you are telling me that you can use lethal force after being punch like 50 times with broken bones and a broken face 😏 what a great recommendation for the criminals 😏

Well, I guess that’s a shame because one punch can end up leading to your death, depending on a lot of factors, so good luck with that

eh, if someone throws one punch, then more incoming is a reasonable expectation, which does lead to fear of serious injury and/or death. so if I fear for my safety-life... ijs it's not a black and white situation in Tennessee. gimme your wallet followed by a punch in the face tells a different story
