Is the next step beyond yelling at him and calling the cops to clear leather?

The reason I am really stressing that people think about this is I have a good friend who was in a similar situation (actually it was 3 on 1) and that person cleared leather.
Guess what guys? The LE, DA, and Court system is pretty unpredictable!
One would assume that 3 on 1 is a no-brainer for pulling your gun, right?
Wrong.
That person was not only charged, but ended up with a guilty conviction!

So, my point is; better be 105% sure that you were 2 seconds away from bodily injury or death, because you may find your ass sitting in jail for defending your 8 track!
+1

Use a gun, any gun against unarmed men, prepare to be prosecuted. Could be more than 3, and the charges will likely stick. I see that as a certainty, not unpredictable at all. You do some shooting in a middle class neighborhood, the DA will be on you like a dog on a bone.
