You’ve got to understand, man, that one of the large factors of SYG will be to make ordinary people much more afraid of people they see carrying weapons. You’re right in that it’s not a paradigm shift— the old self-defense laws were also open to abuse, as any law is, and someone could shoot someone and claim self-defense under them, but there was a higher burden, and it would be easier to disprove their story.
