I wish all these numbskulls would get it.
Standing one's ground when attacked is a natural right; a duty to retreat is an artificial, counterfeit requirement.
SYG should apply anywhere a person has a legal right to be, with the same "reasonable person" criteria in place. If one reasonably perceives immediate danger of death or egregious bodily harm, no faux 'duty to retreat' can reasonably be piled on top of the imminent danger.
"Detached reflection cannot be demanded in the presence of an uplifted knife." - Oliver Wendell Holms

TO REMEMBER |
| Some of the worst abuses of government force in recent years were precipitated by technical and victimless gun-law violations. For example, the BATF claimed that the Branch Davidians possessed machine guns without paying the required federal tax and filling in the proper registration forms. So a tax case worth less than $10,000 led to a 76-man helicopter, machine gun, and grenade assault on a home in which 2/3 of the occupants were women and children. — Dave Kopel and Dr. Michael S. Brown, Prohibition Fever, NationalReview.com |
