If it had been "guy begs for money, gets too aggressive, dude pulls a gun and shoots him," I could believe that he genuinely felt threatened (I could also believe that he didn't and just claimed he did to avoid legal ramifications). If he was able to leave to go to his car and come back, though, he very obviously could have escaped from the situation without shooting the guy, so I don't think he can justify self-defense. <cite>_AdjI_ posted [p:944249028] in 24 y/o Whi...
