I must learn to never, ever open these kinds of threads. But since I have...

The only law that matter during the encounter is the law of the jungle. Two predators discovered their prey had bigger claws and fangs than the both of them, so they skedaddled. Christians 1, Lions 0.

The only law that matters after the encounter are the laws regulating Atlanta, GA or whatever suburb these folks happened to be in at the time.

... and those laws only matter to the players if the police get called, actually have people to respond, arrive before everybody scatters and finally, deem the incident worthy of a follow-up investigation. Generally, if there are bodies or blood and shell casings present then yes, there will be one. Otherwise, it'll be when somebody calls, admits to being involved and wants to prefer charges against an (allegedly) offending party. I'm not holding my breath on this one.

What you saw here was the Second Amendment working as designed. Speaks well of the drafters, I think, that it still works perfectly some 223 years after its ratification.
