[Jackal]

I was with my girlfriend, who I gotta say is nice to look at, at about 2am at the wawa off 202 the other night. We had just gotten off work and wanted to pick some stuff up for breakfast.

I see 3 jacked guys pull up. Anyhow, this one guy is flirting with my gf in front of me, clearly drunk, and about twice the size of me. He claims he just lost a cage fighting match in NJ. At this point, I am a little concerned, especially after he repeatedly wants to buy my gf a doughnut.....?

Anyhow, I avoided any confrontational remarks and we got out of there quickly because I could have seen that going badly in the parking lot.

Now my theoretical question....what if we are heading to the car and this guy decides he wants trouble, he walks towards the car. I doesn't necessarily act threatening yet he is still coming. I do not have time to get away in the car....can I fire in self defense at this point? I ask because this person had no visible weapon (other than his fighting ability) and was merely walking at me. But consider that I felt threatened for my and my gf's life.

And what good would retreating on foot be at that time....just so that he can hunt us down, after a 13 hour shift, in a more isolated part of town? Where surely no one would help us?
