ethically (and legally) appropriate application of deadly force

As he should have been. I am just trying to make the point deadly force is very very nuanced and if you are going to be a responsible gun owner you really need to think it through. Of course a kid banging your head on the sidewalk could be a very appropriate use of deadly force, but certainly not always. It matters how you got there.

There are those that have suggested Zimmerman wanted to shoot someone, so why was Trayvon only shot once??
 
Which is kinda the point. If I was driving to work and my damn prius broke down, my cell phone is dead and I tuck the 100 down in my shirt, while I am walking to the pay phone (if there is still such a thing) someone tries to take my stuff and elevates it when I tell him to beat it with some sort of force or deadly weapon, fire away, if you have no other recourse. This is really a very interesting topic we should all carefully consider before we carry a firearm in public, or even have one at home.

YEP; unless you admit to premeditated behavior, like you just did here.

If you're there specifically baiting, the ideal result is that somebody caps your cracker ass and then gets caught for it

If someone decides to force me into a situation that I wasn't expecting, then they need to be the one who should have carefully considered their position and intent.

IF: On Saturday night I get dressed up, put on my Rolex and drive my Prius to near West side Indy or out on the East side in the real bad neighborhoods. Let's say I just walk around the hookers and crackheads, maybe have a $100 bill sticking out of my shirt pocket, completely minding my own buisness. When (not if) someone tries to take the bill and the Rolex I just shoot them. Is that appropriate use of deadly force?

That depends; first off, you are illegally trying to ensnare someone by walking around a bad area with money sticking out of your pocket like a dumbass.

So if someone tries to take your $100 bill and Rolex, how do you think that would go down? He would just politely ask you to hand them over?

I live all over, I spend most of my time in Indy. Right now I am on Wright Patt AFB.

Back in the day I used to find these discussions very interesting on firearms forums. After Zimmerman they got so stupid I just quit hanging out on them. This case is a good example. It was widely accepted before Zimmerman it was not ethically appropriate for responsible gun owners (and illegal) to intentionally put myself in a situation that I had to kill someone.

Best aviation museum I've ever been to.
 
I repeat,
