See why this is kind of a problem?


I'm no lawyer, but I believe "who is attacked" is the qualifying statement.

there is the case in jacksonville where the unarmed teen was shot on a stand your ground basis for playing loud music on the grounds that the guy who shot thought he could cause harm to him. he wasn't 'attacked' per se.


and what if the person with the gun strapped to their back, quickly reached for a wallet or went to adjust the gun causing apprehension among the others who were present

and who is attacked
Is a huge qualifier to the law, but the letter of the law isn't necessarily paramount here in terms of what a reasonable response or concern would be.

I would have serious reason to be concerned. If you were with your kids and this happened, it'd be reasonable (at least in my view) to act quickly to ensure that no one was harmed.
