Australian man gets charged for defending family

[Tonit]

I saw an episode of Blue Bloods once. I remember the commissioner being questioned by a reporter. I can't remember the exact question but he asked a question back - a bloke has just raised a gun towards you - what do you do. The reporter paused to think about it, and the commissioner said 'bang - too late - your dead'. It was a brilliant example even if a fictional show that in these types of situations you don't have time to ponder about what is reasonable or what options you have available to you.
