The big question is, what do you perceive as a threat?
Someone jumps out of their car and start screaming you took my parking space at Walmart, is that a threat that you see, then should pull out a gun and stand your ground?
Is it a judgment call, as can I kick this persons ass, so I don't need a gun, then they pull the gun to stand their ground?
Hard call.

The Americans and the Japanese decided to engage in a competitive boat race. Both teams practiced hard and long to reach their peak performance.
On the big day they felt ready. The Americans won by a mile. Afterward, the Japanese team was discouraged by the loss. Morale sagged. Corporate management decided that the reason for the crushing defeat had to be found, so a consulting firm was hired to investigate the problem and recommended corrective action.
The consultant's finding: The American team had eight people rowing and one person steering; the Japanese team had one person rowing and eight people steering.
After a year of study and millions spent analyzing the problem, the consultant firm concluded that too many people were steering and not enough were rowing on the Japanese team.
So as race day neared again the following year, the Japanese team's management structure was completely reorganized. The new structure: four steering managers, three area steering managers and a new performance review system for the person rowing the boat to provide work incentive.
The next year, the American won by two miles. Humiliated, the Japanese corporation laid off the rower for poor performance and gave the managers a bonus for discovering the problem.
