If someone uses violence against you, the proper response in very many cases is more violence. Uncle linked this video up but with different commentary.
1) THIS guy was brandishing a gun. Pointing it at a thug to prevent him robbing you is not brandishing in this sense at all, which is why Utah seems to be on the right track working up this measure.
2) Guns should properly come out just before people start getting killed. A gun is not the same thing as calling people names, although that is about as serious as it appears this guy thought it was. Otherwise you stand a good chance of getting what this moron got.
3) If you are fighting someone who was pointing a gun at you, or at your friend, and you are holding a skateboard: Do not use your flesh to inflict trauma on the gunman. Don't use your fist or your feet. If you can, use the TRUCKS to make sure they end up on the ground and stay there. You saw this joker take the flat of a board to the head and it took a lot of the fight right out of him, but then they backed off using the skateboard on him. An assailant can fake a knock-out and pop right back up again when you back away; it's pretty hard to fake a split-open cranium and bleeding out all over the sidewalk.
4) If you are filming an event like this, Zoom in on the face of the gunman, then zoom out to show the whole affair. It makes prosecution and/or civil defense cases easier. Filming from behind a big tree wouldn't be a terrible idea. NOT filming the face of the person who deals a death blow would probably also be a good idea.
