Please NEVER move to Pennsylvania; people like you are why so many people spend life in prison for just trying to defend themselves against violent savages. A rational person who has been in violent confrontations like this is the only one who understands that when someone assaults you, you can’t wait for them to cause permanent injury or kill you to act— it is a split second decision. When they attempt to open your car door, attempt to break your car window, or rush or swing at you, you can shoot them. If a group of them surrounds you, start pushing you, or knock you down, for example in a river where you may drown, it doesn’t matter how weird you acted, you now have a right to defend yourself UNTIL THE THREAT IS NEUTRALIZED. That means killing all of them. Likewise, if they are armed, and begin to witdraw, you don’t know if they are taking up covered positions to begin shooting again, so you can keep shooting until they are no longer a threat. Have you ever been violently assaulted, especially by a group of people who pulled out weapons after the assault began to swing out of their favor? If not, you should never even be allowed on a self-defense jury in my opinion. Things happen fast, and the guy you just knocked out oold, is now up and has pulled out a knife and is coming at you from behind. I have lived in some horrible neighborhoods when getting my education and had to deal with all the situations described here; I am lucky to be alive, and even luckier to not be in prison as I no doubt would with jurors like those today who live pampered life and never encounter violent people who want to end their lives.
