Just understand that the courts, including your defense attorney, the judge and jury will have almost no real world understanding of these things.
    The way my place is currently set up (I'm working on a change built into our remodel project), if I was taking fire from the end of my driveway (200 yds long), I could not retreat due to lack of cover and no exit out that would not be in the line of fire. BUT.. if I was taking rounds to the house from the end of my driveway I am not going to retreat. I'm too old for that shit. I'll take my chances with a jury.

    Quite agreed, the problem is getting the ambulance chasers and the twelve dumbest monkey-humping crotchfruits they can stuff in the box to see things our way.

    Home D sitch in the house we're moving into: Four bedrooms all clustered together at one end, Her Bedriddenness insisting on claiming the one closest to front door, living room and crapper for herself despite that creating a situation where she would be blocking my line of fire and the entire POINT of having me around is to do what she no longer can for herself including Threat Engagement.

    Good news is with it being kind of a D-loop neighborhood, we only need to take chainsaws and drop trees at three points for barricades. Problem is we can't count on 100% "good guys" inside the perimeter once we do...

    I'm not saying you should NOT eliminate the threat at first opportunity, I'm only recognizing that the average person isn't going to understand why that is the correct response. Most idiots think that once a person ceases to stop trying to hit you with a skateboard you no longer remain at the lethal force threshold.
    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

    Chuck, we miss ya man.

    Besides, Las Vegas, there was the church shooting in Texas, where the guy engaged the shooter as he came out, and then ran him down.
    The Second Amendment ACKNOWLEDGES our right to own and bear arms that are in common use that can be used for lawful purposes. The arms can be restricted ONLY if subject to historical analogue from the founding era or is dangerous (unsafe) AND unusual.

    It's that simple.

    Totally agree, that’s where I’m at now. In the agency I’m retired from, we (Troopers & Sergeants) did ground fighting every year at In-Service Training at the Academy. In the last portion of the session we had to don our (older, unserviceable) uniforms and be attacked while we were on the ground.

    The Trooper in line ahead of me had a hard time with the “bad guy” and, being in my 50’s I knew I didn’t want any part of that. When it was my turn, I drew my blue gun as the “bad guy” jumped on me, jabbed it in his eye and said “BANG, you’re dead” and the Instructor said “Yeah, you’re dead”. That was the end of it.

    Never pick a fight with an old man, he might just kill you...
