National Rifle Association Uses Baltimore Riots To Promote "Stand Your Ground" Laws

The National Rifle Association used riots in Baltimore to promote controversial "Stand Your Ground" self-defense laws by citing an article from conservative website Breitbart.com that claimed such laws "are an antidote for brazen in-your-face attacks on city streets."

In fact, several pieces of academic research indicate that "Stand Your Ground" laws increase the incidence of homicides. More generally, research has shown that allowing guns to be carried in public increases crime, particularly aggravated assault. "Stand Your Ground" laws have also been criticized due to research indicating that the laws are applied to minorities in a disparate manner.

Some more astrobarf from "media matters" ! Obviously avoidance of any sort of "confrontational situation" is the sine qua non of any CCW holder. (not that its a problem in hoplophobic MD) But the sound advice mentioned in the short blurb MM attributed to the NRA is completely valid. Flight in the face of a mob often triggers its "prey instincts". Conversely, calm, stern response (backed up with selective violence, if necessary) directed at key individuals might just save your life.
 
 QUOTES TO REMEMBER
Gun control? It's the best thing you can do for crooks and gangsters. I want you to have nothing. If I'm a bad guy, I'm always gonna have a gun. Safety locks? You will pull the trigger with a lock on, and I'll pull the trigger. We'll see who wins. — Sammy "The Bull" Gravano, whose testimony convicted John Gotti.
