A legitimate threat in general or a legitimate threat justifying the use of deadly force?

If the latter, then it isn't enough that the old man is in good physical condition and a master martial artist. You must show that you had an immediate fear of death or serious injury.

Even if we assume that the person is a master martial artist capable of causing death or serious injury as an unarmed 61-yr old man, we would still have to show the grand jury that you knew that information since they would frown on allowing people to shoot other unarmed people on the basis that they MIGHT be master martial artists.
