re: #52 Obdicut

Why just when armed? Oh and most of what you describe is already illegal. Assault, battery. Initiating a confrontation means like responding with road rage to being cut off right?

Why not enshrine our right to defend ourselves legally? In important ways we already have. Let’s not toss all that out over Zimmerman. By definition defense is in response, not an initiation of anything. And that is a part of the operating principle I tried to illustrate to you above. Give the innocent the tools to prevail from a criminal attack.
