re: #316 Daniel Ballard

So if we do away with this law, have we considered how high we want the burden of proof to be if we have to defend ourselves some day? Women need to able to use extreme force to stop a rapist, a classic he said she said unless you have witnesses. Or a merchant on the way to the bank with his deposit who is assaulted for the money?

Were we overwhelmed with innocent people going to jail for defending themselves with lethal force before these laws were passed?

I do believe there needs to be a really high bar for taking another life. The one exception I won’t fight against is inside one’s own home.
