Need your opinion kang; not official yet, but should this one be deemed a bona fide Defensive Gun Use (DGU)?
Stand your ground with a pistol vs fists and all that.

{Navy Seal} Martin and Glenn, 33, became engaged in a fight. Glenn went and got his weapon.
Martin charged at Glenn despite the gun. Glenn then fired the weapon.The two men knew each other...
Glenn has not been charged with a crime..detectives are still gathering facts about this case, which could end up being self-defense.
Martin was a ski instructor, firefighter, rescue scuba diver and skydiver. In addition to his vast resume, he was a father to 4-year-old Rocco.

There ya go, gary kwack fans, another 'dgu/defensive gun use' for the records. Ain't you proud of this one?
What do you think kang, another Zimmerman style dgu?
