I think the court of appeals got it right if his only "criminal act" was possessing the gun he defended himself with.
Quote from an Iowa news source: The Supreme Court noted the new law says there's no duty to retreat when a person isn't engaged in illegal activity, therefore implying those engaged in illegal activity must retreat.
Baltazar was illegally carrying a gun without a license. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
