Bull...how can you possibly know that. You will have just as good a chance getting your gun out running away as trying to confront a mugger who has the drop on you

Just say that before deadly force can be used an attempt must be made to flee the confrontation.... In all cases. Butch Or couldn't there be a requirement that there is an actual threat instead of a perceived one. I wouldn't have a major problem with that. What is almost always ignored in these conversations is that the laws say if a reasonable person would see a threat.

You guys love to blame the dead guy, no matter what the reason was. There is clearly NO excuse to shoot anyone over popcorn, loud music, egg throwing or eating skittles. Just for your info, here in the UK you can kill in self defence, everyone here knows that and also knows you may have to justify why in court. You wont get people here pissing and moaning about a prosecutor doing his job in such situations.

During that time he shoots you. You want to see to it the bad guy always has an even greater advantage than he would normally have.

http://www.wdrb.com/story/24776616/raw-video-woman-allegedly-pulls-gun-in-dinos-food-mart Maybe this is slightly off topic, but what do you do in this situation? What if you have a CCW permit and are packing in this store, at this moment? This ended well but she coule have just started pulling the trigger. It is easy to armchair quarterback these situations, it is an entirely different animal when you are in them.

By KSsubs rules that would make me the bad guy.

Where has anyone blamed the dead guy for playing loud music or throwing popcorn ? Show me Mr expert. Show me where someone was killed because they were eating skittles. And in case you never noticed, I haven't criticized the way you do things in the UK.

How ridiculous Butch And yet only half as ridiculous as trying to run from him and thinking you always have the option of fighting back if he starts shooting at you. Tactical situation would determine fight or co operation, if he has a knife I can shoot him if he has a ball and chain he can outrun me. No contrary to what you want to believe I do not advocate drawing when staring down the barrel of a gun. You want me to retreat from an intruder in my home? That is part of all cases? Of course he will give you a time out to get away cause after all he is a basically good guy who is desperate and misunderstood.

Don't run... say here have my wallet... you are alive and so is he Turn that radio down... man reaches for what looks like gun... run like hell and call cops Common anti-cowboy sense

Nope... I'll let the police do their work...my life ... your life... the crooks life... is not worth a few bucks or a little pride

I just wanted to add that I'm impressed the mother has made this into a public policy discussion and is seeking a solution to help everyone living in a SYG state.

And you haven't answered my question about making me retreat in my home when faced with and intruder. It's not a matter of pride. Tell him my wallet isn't worth dying over he made the choice to bring it to that, not me. I wouldn't shoot him for wanting my wallet but for being willing to kill me to get it.

What if you have a CCW permit and are packing in this store, at this moment? This ended well but she coule have just started pulling the trigger. It is easy to armchair quarterback these situations, it is an entirely different animal when you are in them. It really all depends on a variety of factors. I certainly wouldn't blame anyone for shooting the crazy lady. I would try to remove myself from the immediate area and I certainly wouldn't try to draw if her attention is on me. I would want to play hero and have to answer questions later though if my kids, wife, mom ect were in the store I might try to make a move when her gun points or attention focuses somewhere else. And no, I don't think it's off topic.

There are different laws that cover in your home... and even then an attempt should be made to retreat. If given the choice most sane people will retreat rather than kill. If people knew that in the SYG law an attempt must be made to retreat before deadly force situations like this thread and the Zimmerman situation... may not have taken place. Butch

Butch Since all SYG says is that you don't have to repeat you clearly think I am stupid enough to not see that this is just a veiled attempt to repeal them. And no when someone breaks into your house he has already proven he will do whatever it takes to get what he wants. Of course you would help him load his truck hope he doesn't kill you so you can't testify and then let the police do their job because that is what any reasonable person would do.

If you are saying can I envision a situation where retreat is impossible... yes I can... but the Zimmerman and this case were not one of those situations...In any court if YOU can prove you could not retreat than it would be a simple self defense case.

I can't see how Zimmerman could retreated but by all means just use your imagination and make something up. If you're being charged with something than you don't have to prove anything.
