OK, I read the article, if the guy was threatening him with a shovel he has more grounds for the shooting. Who knows.
he'll walk....

21 foot rule, ie:

"A person with an edged weapon within 21 feet of a person is POTENTIALLY a deadly threat'

"The AVERAGE person with an edged weapon raised in the traditional "ice-pick" position can go from a dead stop to level, unobstructed surface offering good traction in 1.5-1.7 seconds."

So, if you are in that position and someone decides to come after you, you may already be in a fatal situation unless you take steps to neutralize the agressor.
