On the topic of the drunk jumping on the tent:
I question using a gun I assume is loaded (As they ALL are) to beat someone in the ribs with . The odds of a negligent discharge are high. If you intend to shoot the guy,pull the trigger. If you do not intend to shoot the guy,it must be a bad idea to shoot him. Don't brandish in a careless way likely to "accidentally" shoot him.. It won't work out in court and you will likely deeply regret having shot a human being
In an SD situation, its SD if you can justify you shot someone with the means and intent to kill you.
Its different if you are using a gun for punishment or intimidation.
Thats probably a crime.
Regardless how a story sounds for a "Good Old Boy Beer Story" ,when we are in real life, We had best consider how the story will sound before a judge and prosecutor,and what a jury will think of it.
Not every drunk jackass needs to be shot. And sometimes its the guy who introduces the gun who is acting the jackass.
I'm not a moderator, but some stories might give the anti-gunners something to work with.
No doubt the jackass drunk tent jumper was wrong.
He may not have been the only one
