    You can’t provoke someone in to shooting you than press charges, that’s what this would be like.

    That depends entirely on what you mean by “provoke”. The only time you can ever shoot someone and not go to jail for it is if you can prove it was self defense, and the threshold to prove self defense can be extremely high, depending on jurisdiction.

    And for every other type of offence, doing something illegal in response to someone doing something illegal to you just means you both go to jail. “He did it first!” never even worked in grade school, not sure why you expect it to work as an adult.
