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
