A: What's the matter, you fucking fairy? Shitting your pants yet?
B: Fuck off man!
A: Your mother was an AIDS-infested whore, you shithead!
B: I'M GONNA FUCKING KILL YOU!!! *pulls out a knife and tries to stab A* (illegal attack)
A: *shoots B* (using deadly force in retaliation for an illegal attack)

...then this new amendment would apply in regards to person A fearing for his life.
Read the fucking article, and especially these parts:

Quote:
the measures generally grant immunity from prosecution and lawsuits to those who use deadly force to combat any unlawful entry or attack
(note how it says ANY unlawful entry or attack)

Quote:
The NRA and other supporters say the bills are needed in many states that require people under attack in public places to withdraw from the situation, rather than retaliate, unless they can show their lives are in danger.
