The law itself makes any person (A) in any situation "reasonably threatened" because the person (A) has reasons to think that the another person (B) can have a gun and be "reasonably threatened" enough to shoot person (A). So the person (A) is threatened enough to shoot person (B).

In Russia many people have got a "traumatic". It is not too difficult to get it. One just need to pass all the paper work and to have no criminal records.
