JOHNSON, J.
I concur separately merely to emphasize I do so only because I conclude there was not substantial evidence in the record supporting a claim of self-defense—reasonable or unreasonable. Hence, the trial court erred in giving the “reasonable” self-defense instruction and did not err in failing to give the “unreasonable” self-defense instruction. In the circumstances of this case, however, had there been sufficient evidence to support the former, it would have been error to refuse to give the latter.
*826Since I find no error in the refusal to instruct on unreasonable self-defense and agree with the remainder of the majority opinion, I concur in the judgment.
A petition for a rehearing was denied November 24, 1992, and appellant’s petition for review by the Supreme Court was denied January 28, 1993.
