You can't become the aggressor, retreat when confronted, and claim 'self-defense' when you have to shoot the guy.

If they in turn attack you then yes you can.

Note BP, "stupider" is a Texas euphemism probably unused in whatever gay-bob yankee state in which you reside.

Posting to you is like showing a chicken a card trick. It is a waste of time in that the chicken never gets it.

Texan? That explains a lot.
