Self-defence laws don't really work in this case as from the way he posted he never saw either of the shots (or shooters) so even with a weapon to defend himself he would have been firing blind.

On top of this its still an after the fact process ie reacting to a problem rather than solving it. What is the better option here:
A) Stopping these people from shooting at you in the first place.
B) Being able to shoot back, after you have been shot at (unless we think being allowed to drive down the road strafing the curb is a good idea)
