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. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. — Noah Webster in "An Examination into the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution," 1787, in Paul Ford, ed., Pamphlets on the Constitution of the United States, at p. 56 (New York, 1888). |
