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 |
| There are other things so clearly out of the power of Congress, that the bare recital of them is sufficient, I mean the "...rights of bearing arms for defence, or for killing game..." These things seem to have been inserted among their objections, merely to induce the ignorant to believe that Congress would have a power over such objects and to infer from their being refused a place in the Constitution, their intention to exercise that power to the oppression of the people. —ALEXANDER WHITE (1787) |
