Dave,
Don't say you "would never use it against an unarmed attacker." You are setting yourself up for defeat. A couple of for instances:
- you are being choked to death and know that you have no other choice

- you have just had your head bounced of the concrete a few times and believe this person is trying to (is) causing serious injury or death

There are many reasons this would occur. An unarmed attacker can make you just as dead as an armed attacker. You must believe that you had no other choice but to use deadly physical force in order to stop someone from killing you or causing serious physical injury to you. All states have different laws concerning use of deadly physical force so look into your own. But you may have no other options...
Tony Blauer asks..."can you shoot somebody for doing a lapel grab?" Most people will say no, and under most circumstances the answer is no. But there are circumstances where it may be appropriate...don't sell yourself short. Train for any scenario. It's all about mindset. Your opponent determines the outcome....
