If someone shoves me because they’re mad I took their spot, pulling out a gun is not justified.
In that example, you have no idea if they have a gun in their pocket. All you know is you have a crazy person angry at you.
Escalating your response is also a roll of the dice.
True, but not escalating is also a roll of the dice. If you don’t shoot, and you guessed wrong, you’re dead. If you shoot and you guessed wrong, you aren’t dead. It’s a roll of the dice, but you get to decide which dice you roll.
