    Where the "trouble" comes in is where there is doubt about how much force was necessary depending on the circumstances..
    Unfortunately, sometimes police don't wait to cast this sort of doubt. If they have evidence to establish the elements of an assault, they can arrest and let discrepancies work out in the court room. You can be left to proving your innocence in these sorts of situations. Happened to someone I know. Otherwise, I mean anyone could try to claim dude was trying to grab my junk as an excuse to deck him.

    I can tell you that even if you are 100% justified in your self-defense, you are going to have "trouble" if you shoot someone.

    Imagine a world where someone could shoot someone else, say it was self defense, and the police said, "oh, okay, no need to look into this then..." Of course law enforcement will investigate to determine whether reasonable force was used for any self-defense claim just as they will investigate any claimed alibi...

    But that would represent only a very small, insignificant threat, non?
