I think MilitaryPower has it right. Single unarmed assailant, you would be hard pressed to convince a jury/DA that you faced a lethal threat. The other thing I would add is that, in the book, Ayoob is trying to address as many people as possible; some of his advice will be more useful to people in an area that is less amenable to armed self-defense than others. There may be jurisdictions where you wouldn't be indicted for armed response in that situation, but there are a lot of places where you would be...
