A bit subjective, surely - how do you qualify/quantify feeling "threatened"? There was a case a couple of years ago when a British holidaymaker, finding himself lost in Florida, knocked on a door to ask directions and was promptly shot dead by the householder, who presumably felt "threatened". Perhaps we should stick to the definition of "assault" in Section 30 of the Offences against the Person Act 1865 - at least then we don't get shot by red-necked, gun-happy idiots!
