except in texas, i believe most of the US has the "one up" rule. guy attacks you with his fists, you can use a bat (maybe in some cases a knife), if bat then knife, and if he comes at you with a knife you can perforate (SP?) his ass with a shotgun.
i personally believe you should be able to use whatever "neutralizing force" as is necessary.
and i love texas' laws. you can shoot someone dead for BEING ON YOUR PROPERTY. even if they're not threatening your life, just your property (like theft and the like). around here, if you shoot someone in self-defence, they pretty much need to be in your house. i think that may even be the case with a gun. stupid fucking laws.
