Sheriff Jim Wilson On Disparity Of Force

Last week I posted about an article from Mas Ayoob on the topic of disparity of force, throwing in some additional information about the topic. So I was pleasantly surprised to discover that Sheriff Jim Wilson, a popular columnist in Shooting Illustrated also recently wrote a column on "Disparity of Force". He explains: "Disparity of force is when your attacker, though unarmed, is still capable of causing death or serious bodily injury, thus justifying a deadly force response. This may take many forms and almost certainly will vary from situation to situation." But he provides some examples of disparity of force between: a woman being attacked by much larger man; a young man that attempted a home invasion robbery against an 80-year old man with arthritis; being outnumbered in a street fight; and a deputy sheriff who was injured in a fight and faced being stomped to death.
