When playing Henry Block, if you Cat Balou or Panic the rattlesnake from yourself for example, are you the target of a bang! ?
Edit:
Henry Block
Any player drawing or discarding one of your cards (in hand or in play) is the target of a BANG!
Cat Balou
Discards a random card from the hand of any player or any card in play
Panic
Pick a random card from the hand of a player or any card in play (at range 1)
Sorry if the wording is not correct, I'm trying to translate from the french version
I have not seen an offical answer or FAQ on this topic but I do know that there is another answer on this site that references playing a bang against yourself which says that is not possible. That answer references a post elsewhere which it says is from the developer that says the rule is in place to prevent unfair behavior.
As I said, the "no-killing-yourself" rule is the official one to prevent unfairy behaviours in tournaments.
However, if you sure to play with fair people, you can allow self-shot, which adds strategic elements to the game as well (think of Bart Cassidy, for example).
Answer where the information came from
What I get from that is if you play a Panic or Cat Balou on yourself as Henry Block you will not have a bang shot at you.
