Yeah I was trying to say that because he didn't claim self defense doesn't mean he was not lawfully defending himself under the circumstances.
Like there has to be a reason to have the guns out. Target shooting for example. If Stanley was target shooting with friends he might be guilty because pointing a gun at someone's head would be negligent.
In this case, the air of self defense has to considered or it would be a negligent event. Maybe not self defense but the over all circumstances.
