On the self defense clause, for it to be self defense it must be an imminent threat to your or someone else, you (or the victim) must be unable to get away and the force you respond with must be proportionate.
So if some bully's are beating up a kid getting out a gun and shooting in not a legal response. If they are going after him with knives or you have other reason to believe there is an immediate lethal threat the gun might be an appropriate response, depending on other factors.
Similarly if the woman is getting beaten and comes back later with a gun it's not self defense, and not even this law would change that. If the woman can run away, call the police or incapacitate the guy, or can use anything less than lethal force shooting the guy is not self defense.
I'm so tired of people not understanding what self defense is. If someone punches you the appropriate (and legal) response is _*NOT*_ to take out a minigun and mow down his entire family.
E: "Did they... did they just endorse the combination of the JSDF and US Army by showing them as two lesbian lolicons moving in together and holding hands and talking about how 'intimate' they were?"
B: "Have you forgotten so soon? They're phasing out Don't Ask, Don't Tell."
