Defense with a firearm leveled the playing field; here We have 4 on 1. They did not need a bat, they could have killed him barehanded. But the fact that they brought the bat just makes the attackers that much more culpable for getting themselves shot at. A vicious prosecutor may have tried to say the defender used excessive force if the 4 had simply used their knuckles, but because they attacked him with a baseball bat, his position as the victim is clear. I think it may have worked in his favor, ironically, even if it meant taking a few bruises. Sad thing, over here in Illinois, that could have played out with a much more grim outcome since the only way to carry here is to break the law.
