If a woman has you at point blank gun point, does the rule "not allowed to hit a woman" still apply?

Rawbert

I feel that would fall under "Self Defense"

Same as if a guy had a gun on you. You do what is needed to defend your life.

The law doesn't allow you to hit a person. it's not gender specific. Not hitting a female is a social norm, you wouldn't be charged because it's called self defense.

John

hit her and get the gun its self defense its leagal

When your life is in jeopardy, you can use deadly force to preserve your life, regardless of the age, or gender of the perpretrator.

jools4fools

That rule NEVER applies when your safety is concerned.

No if you thought your life was in jeopardy, it's called self defense, but your going to have to prove it.

You won't go to jail if you hit and overpower her provided that you did it out of self-defense... Who wouldn't try to defend themselves from a gun-pointing psycho? Not hitting women is not a rule or law... It's a principle of chivalry or being a gentleman... As a gentleman, you mustn't hurt a lady... Take note of the word lady... A lady is different from a woman because a lady has poise and grace and proper behavior expected of a woman... A woman who points a gun on someone is so un-lady-like... Not worth defending...

Hell naw smack that b*tch and get your a*s outta there. Then call the police and tel them that she had you at gunpoint and you did what you had to to get away, so you can get her arrested for pointing a gun at you; it'll be self-defense then. Oh but make sure you don't hit her too had cuz then it'll be mutual combat and you both could get arrested.
Just curious...has this happened to you? If so I think you need to hang around a different crowd of people lol.

There's no law stopping you from acting in self-defense. The mere fact that she has a gun pointed at you means that she has put your life in immediate danger, to which you can defend yourself. But if you plan on hitting her in the face, make sure you've gotten past the gun first lol. If she's too close, you can disable her more quickly than if she was a few feet away.

MamboMama

LOL...I love this question. I guess the answer depends on whether or not she is justified in targeting you. Not that I expect you would stand there picking your nose and let her shoot you if you had actually done something offensive....

...but if you didn't do anything wrong, save yourself and hit the crazy person! Even if it is a woman. I doubt any court would sentence you to jail unless there were no evidence that you hit her in self defense.

catman

No, do everything in your power to defend your self even if means killing her.

Daryn C

Its a trick question!

because the person getting the gun at point blank range is ALSO a women!

wham!

southarkansas

mkt f

lil_t45

u better beat a ***** if she has a gun 2 ur face fuk that i would ...

NO! lol........to hit a woman is not agaist the law it is immoral. and morals are all subjective.....so it is not upheld or punishable in a court of law. it is illegal to hit ANYONE, male or female. however in a court by our constitution we are all created equally, men and women, and we are all granted certain unalienable rights LIFE, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. When held at gunpoint your life is being threatened so you may defend yourself. However there are rules when defending yourself. Any prson is to use less or equal force as defense. So if a girl has a gun pointed at you, it is perfectly legal and well within the guidlines of the court to punch that crazy ***** in the face. However if your a 250 pound man and she a 100 pound woman and she hits you with a fist, it is assault on her part but if you hit her back a court may rule that you used excessive force because you were in no real threat being more that twice her size. there have been cases of burglers having a knife or a bat and a person shooting them protecting their home go to jail because they weren't using less or equal orce a gun being higher up than a knife or bat. however when it comes to a law a persons gender is completly irrelavant when deciding punishment.........except rape cases < mr. watts senior yr. pre-law cranston east class 2004 .....represent

It's called self-defense!

Joe Iwojima

If women hate you that much purchase a firearm.

First off if anybody puts a gun in your face at point blank range, which is less than 1 or 2 ft you can defend yourself without facing charges, even if you kill them it would be minimal, but here is the problem, the response time for them pulling the trigger is faster than your punch speed, you're going to be shot in the head if you try punching them, you're better off grabbing for the gun if your going to do anything, at least then you have a chance of pushing it up or down before it goes off.

cclover _

are you freakin kidding me? haven't you heard of self defense? geeze

Help from above

Yes, regardless of "self-defense" or "the law" you do not, and i repeat DO NOT hit a woman.

That being said, you can hit the gun.

As a California Native (Served U.S. Army 1968-74) I can't Comment on this issue, Striking a Woman is Self-Defense when facing a Lethal Weapon, I would Assume (Hope and Pray) that "The Law" would be the Same as if it were a Male Threatening Your(anyones) Life with a Gun, (in Face ? again I would Think that a Judge, or Jury, or Civil/Criminal Law, a D.A. and COMMON SENSE would Consider Recognize a Humans NATURAL INSTINCT in this/that situation would be the time NOT to Really be mulling over, or weighing out the consiquences, but Rather again the Instinct of SURVIVAL would/should be at the Forefront.. Then in your particular case, I again *** u me that if YOU Filed Charges FIRST, it might help.. I'm just Guessing here.. The "Law" and "Judicial System" is not always performed in a way any Law Abiding Citizen would Expect it to Be. Again MANY Variables... Who knows who.... D.A.'s etc. BIG EGO's, Cases Won/Lost %'s, Community Impact, Let me try to explain. As of 10 years ago, in Calif. in a County VERY Near the Co. of San Francisco, this was the NORM. I was told by Attys. that in the 70's the Big "Push" was over Pot, in the 80's, it was non-prescribed Drugs, and in the 90's the Big Deal was Domestic Violence. I Totally Understand the Need for The DV Laws, for the Reason to Protect Women from Physical ABUSE by Husband, BF, or other. These Violence Laws should and Were STRICTLY Enforced. as Well they Should Be. but these Laws (assumption- and No offense to any One culture) as per My County/State there are Many Latinos, which I Learned, some of Them (at yhe Local Bars) were considered Big Shots, Mano, Bravado, and Bragged about Slapping Their Female Other around, like this is the Manly Right, or some Sick BS like that.. Point being, These "Cowards" and Their "sport" Needed to be Dealt with/Stopped. But Now, here comes the MUY PROBLEMA. EVERY Complaint/charge/Case/Defendant was Treated the SAME, as these Mental-Midget-MANIACS. I did Alot of Research about this DV Issue 10 yrs. ago. Example: In Los Angeles THOUSANDS of Wives/GF's of Policemen came Forward with Charges of Violence toward Them from Years past, with the 90's "push" it was Their Time to Speak Up... Another Problema.. When Convicted of DV, the Sentence was Jail Time-1 yr. Anger Mgt classes etc The BIG Prob. was the "Guilty" were NOT Allowed to Own/Possess/ or be Anywhere Near a Weapon as in GUNS. ahha!! what about the 1200-1400 Wives of Cops in L.A. ?? Whoops. you just cant Take that many P.D. Off the Streets.!! So, I Believe THOSE Cases were put on Hold, and These battered/Abused Women are Still Waiting for Justice to Be Served.. I should Research this/look for updates on this Issue.. I will BET You, any info. would be Non Existent on this matter.. Anyway, 10 yrs. ago, in this county. I learned, All (men?) charged with DV were GUILTY, even Before the Courtroom Doors were Opened. If one would DARE, Plead Not Guilty, You Faced ONE Year in STATE Prison, and EVERYone was GUILTY.!! The ONLY Way to make these Allegations/Charges Kinda Disappear, Started at around 60-80 Thousand $$.. This DV Law (back then) had So Many Holes in it, it could EASILY be used as a Weapon in ITSELF... i.e. Bribery, Leverage, Black Mail, etc. I had better end here... Any Q's on this matter, feel free to e-m me (Serious Only) Good Luck to All. P.S. The Current State of Events in America/World is CRITICAL, Right Now, We are All Dangerously Close to Loosing Our Constitution... BET ON IT. !! http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article17482.htm
