These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Whoever, if armed with a firearm, unlawfully attempts to strike, hit, touch or do .any violence to another, however small, in a wanton, willful or angry or insulting manner having an intention and existing ability to do some violence to such person, is guilty of' an armed assault. If such attempt is carried into effect, he is guilty of an armed assault and battery.”
