Well unless of course the other person laid their hands on him first then he has every right to do so. And in Florida he then has every right to carry a gun and use that gun if he feels his life is in danger in such an altercation.
The whole reason that I believe Zimmerman was acquitted was because no one knows who laid their hands on the other first. I'm likely oversimplifying things but nothing I saw in any of the things I read answers that question. Oversimplifying of course because it isn't black and white...there is grey when it comes to a guy taunting making it look like they are going to deliver a blow and suckering a guy into it etc.
It's safe to say that both individuals in this acted like asshats. But one asshat had the gun. It's the problem with getting mixed up with asshats...you never know what is going to happen.
