Generally, one who initiates an altercation has no right to use force in his own defense during that altercation. However, the aggressor can "regain" his right to use self-defense in two ways: 1) An aggressor who, in good faith, effectively removes himself from the altercation, and communicates to the other person his desire to remove himself, regains his right to use self-defense, and 2) If the victim of the initial aggression suddenly escalates a "minor" altercation into one involving deadly force and does so without giving the aggressor the chance to withdraw, the aggressor may use force in her own defense.
