it depends. if you are in the midst of being raped and fighting your attacker and kill him then, it would probably be considered self defense.\n\nif you are raped, and go after your attacker at a later date, that would most likely be looked upon as murder, since there was time in between which gives potential to premeditation, as opposed to fighting for your life.

depends on if a weapon was involved. If you hit your spouse with an open/empty hand it's ussually considered simple assault, which in most jurisdictions is a misdemeanor with a fine involved. If you use any sort of object then it's aggrevated assault and it's a felony. Also if you live in a jurisdiction with a three-strikes law, even your third simple assault charge can be judicated as a felony.

The fighting-words doctrine was first articulated in Chaplinsky v. New Hampshire, 315 U.S. 568 (1942). Chaplinsky was convicted of violating a New Hampshire statute that prohibited the use of offensive, insulting language toward persons in public places after making several inflammatory comments to a city official. The Court, in upholding the statute as constitutional, set down those famous words: \n\nThere are certain well-defined and narrowly limited classes of speech, the prevention and punishment of which have never been thought to raise any constitutional problem. These include the lewd and obscene, the profane, the libelous, and the insulting or "fighting" words — those which by their very utterance inflict injury or tend to incite an immediate breach of the peace. It has been well observed that such utterances are no essential part of any exposition of ideas, and are of such slight social value as a step to truth that any benefit that may be derived from them is clearly outweighed by the social interest in order and morality.

Bottom line....an armed public are citizens,an unarmed public are subjects.If that's too deep for you,check out a little history.In everycase,gun control,or outright confiscation preceeded a totalitarian government.

NO...\n\nTrespass laws in Texas do not make Homicide/Manslaughter legal....the circumstances are very clear, you havt to meet certain criteria, and that's not someone walking acoss your property.\n\n"Deadly force" is authorized to protect property by 9.42 for the following offenses:\n\n(A) to prevent the other's imminent commission of\narson, burglary, robbery, aggravated robbery, theft during the nighttime, or criminal mischief during the nighttime;\n\nor\n\n(B) to prevent the other who is fleeing immediately after committing burglary, robbery, aggravated robbery, or theft during the nighttime from escaping with the property;\n\nand\n\n(3) he reasonably believes that:\n\n(A) the land or property cannot be protected or\nrecovered by any other means;\n\nor\n\n(B) the use of force other than deadly force to protect or recover the land or property would expose the actor or another to a substantial risk of death or serious bodily injury.\n\nThe first two paragraphs in 9.42 says deadly force can be used under the provisions of 9.41 if the crime is commited after dark.9.42. DEADLY FORCE TO PROTECT PROPERTY. A person is justified in using deadly force against another to protect land or tangible, movable property:\n\n(1) if he would be justified in using force against the\nother under Section 9.41; and\n\n(2) when and to the degree he reasonably believes the\ndeadly force is immediately necessary:\n\n(A) to prevent the other's imminent commission of\narson, burglary, robbery, aggravated robbery, theft during the nighttime, or criminal mischief during the nighttime. \n\nDeadly force is only justified when a person reasonably believes that it deadly force is immediately necessary to prevent another person from committing arson, burglary, robbery, aggravated robbery, and theft or criminal mischief during the nighttime. Nowhere in the statue is "Deadly Force" authorized to prevent the immneint commission of criminal trespassing or criminal trespassing during the nighttime.

If it is bare-knuckles, Shaq takes it\n\nIf each one puts the gloves on, Nikolai\n\nIt all depends on that little fact since boxers don't punch with completely closed fists in those gloves.

It is one of the great Martial Arts, but probably not more deadly than others.\nMost Thai boxers live till retirement.\nIf you beat someone hard and often enough, it will result in casualty regardless of the type of martial art.\nI think it depends on the individual.  A well conditioned and trained fighter can mostly hurt or kill somebody more effectively than a less able fighter regardless of the style.

What are you on about? Hand 2 hand? Simple dont teach it any more. Causes 2 many injuries in pubs and clubs, and is never really used operationally. Basic restraint techniques are taught now. Hand to hand was taught to commando's in WW2 when they had the special forces role they dont anymore. And was a neccesaty due to the unreliability of weapons then.

no.it only takes a second to chamber a round and the KA-CHUNK is a scary sound that everybody knows the meaning of. in some states you are better off shooting someone that your are working them over with a baseball bat since the issue of how many blows were enought and did you use too many can come up. 3 rounds center of mass may be overkill but is not generally held to be over the line. a side comment- an unloaded long gun can be a nasty weapon in the right hands. find a grunt and have in teach you the basic strikes he learned in boot camp. a butt stroke to the head or guts will end things pretty well. then you can claim you decided not to shoot the dumb SOB but just wacked him because all you wanted to do was protect yourself. tough to sue somebody for letting you live

LOL you people crack me up!  YES THERE IS SUCH A THING AS A SINGLE STRIKE THAT CAN KILL.... its called science people... not mystical martial arts... I can punch you or stomp on your temple and you can die.... or stomp on your face and you can die.... are you asking about that bullshit Dim Mak?  NO... that has been proven TIME AND TIME again to be BS.  There is no one that can touch someone in the chest and have them fall dead or passed out.... that's called hypnotic suggestion, or being a moron.  Go watch the Dillman bullshit videos where he passes people out without touching them... or knock outs with single strikes... you will see that only the STUDENTS are the ones that pass out LOL  its because they actually believe that crap.  \n\nThen you will have someone tell you that well... only 40% are susceptible to it... what? B AHA HA H AHA HA HA HA AH\n\nI have had more than 14 people at different events try to show that to people... and each one FAILED miserably.... its a ploy to get you to pay them money.....  Pressure points are even next to impossible on a resisting opponent.... and when your adrenaline is up its even harder!!!  LOL i love you guys, you crack me up each day.

If you are armed with a club, it is a deadly weapon, and officers will treat it as such.  yes they are trained in "hand to hand" but they are not black belts, and we have no way to know if you are or if you are not.\n\nIf you have a weapon, like a club, if there is enough officers they may use pure numbers if they can, but normally it will be one or two officers who has to act.  They may if there is no wind, try and use mace but only if you are not comming at them,  if you are comming at them or appear to be ready to harm someone else, they will use deadly force, they have no other choice.\n\n( some my have a tazer and use it, but they are not widely used at this time, )\n\nAnd the officer does not know what the problem is, are you mentally ill, or you just mean, or you a drug user, or you a life long criminal,  all they know is that there is a person with a possible weapon and they react as such.\n\nAnd a mentally ill person off thier medication ( or on some medications)  can at times be the most dangerous,  I have had two cases where someone broke my handcuffs, they were both mentally ill people.  One such lifted me up and tossed me. when I tried to stop them.  It took 7 offices with clubs to finally stop him.

Well, it obviously depends on the people involved.  If they are in the habit of being well-mannered, and are basically liberty-oriented, they can have a very stimulating discussion which is of value to both of them.\n\nThen again, there are those who are sufficiently limited in their vocabulary that when they run out of words, they start to use fists and weapons.

Highschool or pro? In amateur, there are: single leg take down, fireman's carry, double leg takedown, head and arm, half nelson (full nelson is illegal), crossface,(my favorite) and many many more. Just type into google.

Yes. You can use the palm of your hand and thrust upwards into the nose of someone. If hit properly (right angle, correct amount of force) you can kill them.

Any instrument that can cause death or serious physical injury can be considered a weapon....for instance, a pen can be used for writing a letter, but it can also be used to stab someone.  The pen is not a deadly weapon in itself.  A baseball bat is an instrument for sports but swing it at someones head and in becomes a weapon.  A car is a weapon when it is used as such.
