[Marvel] Would The Punisher give me time to explain if I seemingly broke the law in a way that deserves punishment?

Okay, say I'm out at night in the middle of New York. Literally 3 steps out of the front door I am held at knife point and the person tries to mug me. 

I then proceed to whip out a gun and leave a hole where his brain previously was. So, in self defense I killed this man. 

And to my luck, The Punisher was literally right around the corner and saw me shoot this person in the face. Knowing The Punisher, he probably has an assault rifle and grenade launcher pointed at my asshole by the time I turn around. Unfortunately though, he didn't see the mugging happen so to him I'm just some dick who shot a guy in the head.

Is he just gonna open fire before I can say anything or will he give me a couple seconds to explain that I killed the man in self defense?

Frank isn't an idiot.  He has made mistakes before (like the time he killed Spiderman, Daredevil, possibly Cloak, and definitely Kingpin, as well as a bunch of innocent people in Kingpin's vicinity), but after he subdues you, you'll probably be able to make your case.  He'll grab your wallet, verify that it's you on the ID, check that against the address you are at (huh, it's your address), he'll look at the knife on the ground and then realize that all is well.  He might even give you a better gun.
