If someone is a martial arts expert would they be considered a lethal weapon? If so would you be able to discharge or even draw if they threatened you?

Yes yes I know that your not going to know this kind of info with a random person but its a hypothetical question.

On another note would I be able to draw my weapon from the holster if someone verbally threatens me? Saying something like "I'm going to **** you up"? I would assume if they say there about to kill me then it would be okay to draw but I'm just checking.

I ask a lot of questions but hey thats a good thing, right?

Many states consider people trained in mixed martial arts and boxing to be deadly weapons. Does Idaho consider them a deadly weapon? If they consider martial arts experience or military training in hand to hand combat a deadly weapon ...
Citation to law IAW OCDO Rule (5) please.

RULES said:
(5) CITE TO AUTHORITY: If you state a rule of law, it is incumbent upon you to try to cite, as best you can, to authority. Citing to authority, using links when available,is what makes OCDO so successful. An authority is a published source of law that can back your claim up - statute, ordinance, court case, newspaper article covering a legal issue, etc.
