... From: Kerryn Offord The culture clash is only over hand guns and using firearms for self defence (as a first line over and above getting out of there). Why should one be forced into "getting out of" his residence? You're not, in the UK. There's a general "duty of retreat" - if someone gets in your face and shouts insults, you're expected to back off rather than hit him, and if he pursues then his intentions are obviously hostile - but it's accepted that once in your own home you've run out of places to retreat to, and should not be forced to flee. I gather that doesn't apply in some US states, which is interesting. -- Paul J. Adam |
