"Removing to duty to retreat from our current self defense laws would create a wild west, I’ve even been told that by some people."
Really? REALLY? You've been TOLD that by some people?
First, you need to consider the politics and ideology of the people telling you that. Then, fact check to ascertain whether or not they're telling you the truth.
There is NO evidence of any "wild west" environs resulting from SYG laws. It is a hot-button term used to stoke people's fears and emotions.
In fact, any increase in homicides in states with SYG are mostly JUSTIFIED shootings.
But to anti-gun folks, there IS no justification for shooting someone, which is ironclad proof that they live in a fantasy bubble. |

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]. |
