as with most laws, the penal code is very open to interpetation, most certainly with regards to threatening behavior and assault.
Bottom line if you feel that you or another is in physical danger, an action that could cause pain, injury or death. Then you are in the clear. However, disclaimer notice, a "reasonable and prudent person" will have to sit in the jury stand and agree with your actions.
