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 |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
