Author's opinion:
Both sides acted childishly and violently, but there was no violence that came close to justifying the use if firearms to stop a deadly force attack. Put simply, the fights I saw weren’t nearly as bad as bar fights I’ve seen in real life.
These were mostly incidents of very brief mutual combat where no one was seriously hurt.
No, introducing firearms to such a scenario is not justified. It’s frankly stupid, as you’re much more likely to hit innocent bystanders downrange than you are likely to hit the person you’re shooting at in such dense crowds.

Happened already Seattle.

I say pop ‘em when they come at you.
But then, like I said, I’m in KY. I doubt they’d try that stuff here.
One sucker punch will kill you.
Just sayin.
If someone came at me with a stick I’d feel justified in pointing my gun at them and shooting if they kept coming
I imagine that in most large cities and on the left coast, they are totally protected against self defense by their victims.
My Opinion -
Legal, yes.
Backlash, yes.
Outcome, poor = arrested, jailed, tried, found guilty, loss of property, job, reputation, etc.
As I just typed the last sentence, I am reminded of the signers of The Declaration of Independence.
And I am convicted.
Collectivist revolution craves blood. It lubricates their engine. Opting for a bloody action against them is just what they want.
A better way: find out where they are getting their money and go after that. And sue the pants off of anyone who does harm to people or property.
How about that. An anti-fascist movement that utilizes fascist tactics.
Why are “anti-Fascists” attacking Trump supporters?
Of course, as long as the legal requirements are met: A Reasonable assessment... of Imminent... Danger... of Lethal Harm. If a reasonable person would acknowledge that the danger is imminent, and potentially lethal (basically any grievous injury, which includes rape), you're following the law. Now, as to whether a jury or Liberal Prosecutor will also follow the law is a different latter these days. A man carrying a gun is not meeting the criteria. A man pointing a gun (at anyone) is. Parading Leftist idiots is not. Four masked men with sticks beating an elderly man is. Got it?
It isn't a complicated decision for me.
Yes, ...
IF you have Constitutional Rule Of Law and honest cops, in the area in which you defend yourself.
There are no innocent bystanders in a crowd of antifa

This is from Texas Law Shield.
There would have to be an imminent threat. You can not just mow them down.
In many states, being attacked by anyone and ESPECIALLY by a mob is enough of a threat to justify using deadly force to defend yourself.
The lesson here is... bring a thicker stick.
The only thing worse than a Fascist is an “Anti-Fascist.”

One punch homicide documentary. And they are just as willing to do it to the elderly. A young person attacking an older person can make the shoot no shoot matrix tilt in the direction of justification.
The bottom line is that a violent minority is attacking innocent people. Someone, somewhere, will take exception to that.
