"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. |

TO REMEMBER |
| The right of a citizen to bear arms, in lawful defense of himself or the State, is absolute. He does not derive it from the State government. It is one of the high powers" delegated directly to the citizen, and `is excepted out of the general powers of government.' A law cannot be passed to infringe upon or impair it, because it is above the law, and independent of the lawmaking power." [Cockrum v. State, 24 Tex. 394, at 401-402 (1859)] |
