They use it when someone diturbs them as a defence mechanism and then the skunk gets away when its predator is disturbed... :)
Some examples of defense mechanisms include denial (refusing to accept reality), projection (attributing one's own unacceptable thoughts or feelings to someone else), and repression (unconsciously blocking out painful or anxiety-inducing thoughts or memories).
Even in a situation where you shoot some one in self defense the police must take control of your gun. Receiving the gun back will depend on the full out come of the situation.
No. You need to remove yourself from the situation and get out of the way. ADDED: Correct. The situation (as you describe it "threatening") does not rise to the level of self defense, and you are capable of leaving the scene.
Anyone can defend themselves by retaliating. The situation which is occurs could land the self-defender in jail if it is found that it was not actually in self-defense. Self-defense should be considered a last resort, only used if there is no other way to escape.
If someone is being a pickle it usually means they are sour in their outlook. Usually the expression is "being IN a pickle". This is entirely different and means to be placed in a difficult situation.
