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
(One of the rare times a liberal actually got it right.) |

TO REMEMBER |
| As civil rulers, not having their duty to the people before them, may attempt to tyrannize, and as the military forces which must be occasionally raised to defend our country, might pervert their power to the injury of their fellow citizens, the people are confirmed by the article in their right to keep and bear their private arms. — Tench Coxe in `Remarks on the First Part of the Amendments to the Federal Constitution' under the Pseudonym "A Pennsylvanian" in the Philadelphia Federal Gazette, June 18, 1789 at 2 col. 1. |
