Gun Control & RKBA

Not really. Actually, SYG laws were adopted to replace 'duty to retreat' laws......and the reason for that is that persons of character realize that it turns justice upside down to force a victim to surrender a tactical advantage to a criminal. Think about what you actually do when you retreat. You either turn your back to the assailant, or you backpedal away from him.....neither one a viable option in most cases. Sure, in some cases retreat will work. But criminals typically don't go after victims that are their physical equals or betters -- predators by nature, they go after those less likely to outfight/outrun them.

Stand your ground laws put the burden where it belongs --- on the predator. It gives the choice to the victim -- if it's more tactically advantageous to retreat.....nothing is preventing that. If it's tactically more advantageous to fight with an equalizer -- bully for the victim of the assault!
