Also assuming that the assailant has superior physical advantage. For the record, if one dares.

I keep hearing this "unarmed" individual; ludicrous assumption. My pov...once the assailant attacks and that gun is up for grabs...at that point, the assailant becomes de facto ARMED. It would seem that Law would reflect this obvious dynamic; but I don't know the Law. Only a suicidal fool would fail to shoot an *unarmed* assailant in full attack mode.
