If the guy was outside and just continued chirping him but wasn't a physical threat, McKenna has no right to simply punch him.
And none of us know the answer to that question.
I do expect that if the punchee got all up in McKenna's face outside, he could argue successfully that he felt he was in imminent danger of getting punched himself.

A lot of it depends on how the guy approached McKenna outside the bar. If a guy was waiting for me in the dark outside a bar, after a previous confrontation, I'd take any physical movement towards me as a threat though. I'm not going to wait for some guy to get the first punch in and start wailing on me outside of a club, where security isn't there.
