re: #163 Daniel Ballard

Ok - that seems like a legit point. But the fact that benefit might exist in the other direction doesn’t negate potential costs. And keep in mind, you’d have to demonstrate benefits as compared to situations where there was an expectation of retreat and the use of force only as a last resort - which used to be a common legal standard.

How many situations do you suppose have have a differentially positive benefit from SYG as compared to an expectation of retreat and use of deadly force as st resort? My guess is that the # of such cases would be rare.
