A duty to retreat generally means you can’t resort to deadly force in self defense if you can safely retreat if you can safely avoid an imminent danger. If that isn’t an option due to being cornered or pinned down and facing great bodily harm then you may be authorized to use deadly force. The states that have this ruling are Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Rhode Island and Wisconsin. I was surprised to see Nebraska and North Dakota on this list. Do you believe in this law? I can see the statement “you may be authorized to use” being a big problem especially in Blue States.

Nebraska's duty to retreat pertains to public places. If someone is in your house, whack'em. In Minnesota, you have to make an attempt to flee your own home, if an intruder breaks in and leaves you an opening to escape. Our CCW instructor maintains, if you shoot an intruder in your home in Minnesota, you better be putting holes in the front and don't stop shooting until the intruder(s) are no longer breathing.

PA has a Castle Doctrine that eliminates the duty to retreat in your home, car or place of work. Several years ago it was expanded to Stand Your Ground statewide except in Philadelphia. Philadelphia adheres to the Castle Doctrine but not the expanded version of it which allows standing your ground outside your home car or business.
Eh...wot?

I know a gentleman here in GA that held at gunpoint and let police do their job. Only issue is the courts didn’t do there’s. He’s still having to deal with the “guy” that thinks his daughter is somehow “his” property. With that said, if, and I pray I don’t have to, but if someone breaks in my house, they won’t breathe another breath outside of it.
If I’m in public with my family, my only concern is getting my family to safety and avoid any confrontation if possible. The same goes if I’m by myself. Violence will be met with violence only “if” there’s no other way.
My advice is to avoid those situations at all cost, but if it becomes necessary, don’t half butt it, finish it. Also remember what you do stays with you for the rest of your life. I don’t mean following as in people, I mean in your head. No matter what you do, justify it.

You better have the right insurance if you carry. Self defense can cost you a lot of money and grief. Better option is giving up your life ? What good is that money then ?

You better have the right insurance if you carry. Self defense can cost you a lot of money and grief. I had a friend who shot and killed a crazy meth head that had came in his front door from out of the blue. Guy had a butcher knife and Bill center punched him with a 9mm,DRT. He never left his house to go to the police station or any of the other things people allude to on here all the time. Police chief & sheriff congratulated him for a good shoot. In Kansas no duty to retreat, constitutional carry, anywhere I can legally be I can defend myself and others if need be. Also no civil liability can be sought against you by the criminals family. No ghetto lottery winners here.

Defending yourself is a concept not many people can relate to. You have an inherent natural desire not to kill someone. There can be a hesitation just because you don't want to kill someone due to the problems it will cause. You just want them to go away.
When you shoot someone it can be like a bad shot on a deer or any other animal. You actually watch them die. Crying, rolling in agony, jerking and at the end probably gurgling and gasping for breath. Be ready for this and know they are nothing but an animal and at that moment, you are also.
I say this not to deter anyone from defending themselves. I say this to prepare you for what may come so you are mentally ready for what will happen after the bullet leaves the barrel. Aim center mass with at least 2-4 shots then 1-2 in the head. That way you will not have to hear any thing out of the person who underestimated you. You will have blood and brain splatter on you. Ignore that and accept it in the moment. You claim to be physically ready. Accept this paragraph as to what you need to do to be mentally ready. I pray to GOD I NEVER have to kill anyone.
I plan to do everything I can to run away.
I hope I NEVER have to defend myself but I work in the armpit of NC in Greensboro. Crime is rising at an alarming rate. I am physically and mentally ready.
I do worry about the court costs though.
How many lies will people believe before they realize their own idiocy?

I talk to a guy that lives in Minnesota and you have to runaway or face the law. if you google Castle Doctrine Minnesota, it says if an intruder is in your home and threatens your life with a gun or weapon, you have the right to shoot them. However, when I took by concealed carry class, the instructor told us MN didn't honor the Castle Doctrine.
Must be nice to eat ice cream as fast as you want and not have to worry about brain freeze.

If you are hashing out if you should or shouldnt defend yourself because of some retatded statute-it is too late for you.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

You better talk to the Milwaukee Police Dept. You have to retreat even if you have to jump out of a window 5 stories up. Heck they arrested an old man in his living room at 3 am in the morning for having a gun in his robe pocket when they were investigating a home burglary across the street and knocked on his door to see if he saw anything. He had to appeal his conviction to the state supreme court and used ago fund me donations to pay for it all otherwise he would have had to sell his home.
God please keep they 19 fallen UBB miners out of trouble up there.

No matter what if someone breaks into my house while I'm home and takes one step towards me they are going to die. Period. No negotiations, no nothing. My boom stick will take care of it. Then I call 911 and fill them in.
If I have to I'll take one for the team. Why in the (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) do liberals tell people they can't defend themselves? SCREW THAT. Fixed it for you. Remember this come November. There is hope for you yet.

That is why I liked the old Milwaukee County Sherriff David Clarke. He was smart enough and stated that shooting a Criminal that breaks into your home sends a clear message to the other Criminals that they need a different choice in Careers. We need more of that thinking.

I do worry about the court costs though. I agree to a certain extent. If you see the perp go down after two shots and the threat has been erased, I would not place one to two more shots in the head for good measure especially if there are cameras around. I would say Police are also able to determine the angle of a bullet entering the body. If the perp has the gun not visible under his body while laying on the floor and still moving that may be a different story.

I live so far off the beaten path that it would be a hard decision if someone actually came here to my house and made me shoot them. It really seems as if disposing of the body would be a lot easier than dealing with the authorities.
But on the other hand, what if they told their girlfriend/brother/accomplice where they were headed before they died? That could complicate things.

Maybe the would be intruder had a change of heart and decided to disappear and start a new life. You know, separate themselves from their criminal friends or any bad influence that might look for them.

I dont worry about a deranged attacker to much where I live. I doubt it ever happens and if it does I doubt I would even be taken for questioning. I am in Kansas City a lot working. Being armed is legal in both KS and MO but only because of state statutes. Both sides of the border your getting taken to jail if your in the metro area. Getting treated like a criminal. Lots of dope fiends and lots of violence. Seems like the worse the criminal activity in an area the more likely you are to face prosecution for self defense. Related? I think so. My plan is to say I had to defend myself. I want to call my lawyer before I say more. No matter what you say your going to jail. So no reason to say anything. And yes, I believe a cop would say "you will be released once I finish my report" to get you talking. To make brownie points they will try to find a way to put a crime on you. Lie to you unabashedly. I really hope I am never put in that position just because thats where a lot of work is.
