Another point...
As a armed professional(armed security/EP specialist/PSC) I can honestly tell you, use of force or more specifically deadly force will be required if a subject(s) attack you or become hostile with "non lethal" weapons(or fists for that matter).
If they assault you, you have a valid reason to use force saying(honestly), I had my loaded firearm & I was in fear for my life or safety if they got ahold of it.
I, for one, would not press charges on a armed citizen or armed professional(licensed, certified, trained, etc) who said this in a grand jury or inquest.
FWIW: I was hand picked by my county's State's Atty to serve on the special 6 month homicide grand jury(2005/2006). I didn't have any self defense shootings or stand your ground cases but Id be fair & understanding of a armed citizen's actions in a critical incident.
Real life is NOT like NCIS, Law & Order or CSI.
