No difference in the two. One just had a gun.

I disagree. The shooter had been standing around minding his own business when he was spontaneously delivered a potentially fatal blow to the head. He was in a very justifiable state of anxiety with regard to further assault. The puncher’s actions also put the victim in a state of diminished reasoning ability.

The threat was still there, it’s not like the guy who punched him ran off. He could just as well have been planning to go after the guy and finish the job. The shooter was perfectly justified in using whatever means at his disposal to ensure that he had ended the life threatening behavior of his assailant.

Do you think you’re only justified in using a gun if your assailant is using a gun?

Good luck with that defense!
