All I’m saying is that the legality of the weapon doesn’t bear on one’s right to self defense. When I heard the story, it sounded like the kid defended himself; whether or not he was allowed to have the gun is immaterial. However, upon seeing the video, he appears to have re-engaged after the man with the bat was walking away, which is clearly not self defense.

This is correct. The fact that the gun was illegal is not related to self defense - I beeline Maryland has case law specifically noting this
