Re: I almost just pulled my gun...
See, again this is where I can't agree that your interpretation is more accurate. You have no duty to prove that retreat was impossible. It is more accurate to say that you must prove you could not have retreated with complete safety. You do not have the duty to attempt a retreat first, if the only options available for doing so would be potentially hazardous. That is my interpretation, based on the language of the law.

He would need to prove that he could not safely retreat. More specifically, that he did not know so, at the time.
EDIT TO ADD: The more I think about this, I believe that even what I have stated above here would be better stated as "the prosecutor must prove that you knew, at the time, that you could have retreated in complete safety." The burden of proof lies on the prosecution, as a person is to be presumed innocent.
As you can hopefully tell, this is a far cry from claiming that one must be able to prove that retreat was impossible.Last edited by marinville; February 5th, 2019 at 06:26 PM.

Requiring display of deadly weapon is poor legislation. There are plenty of records of people being killed by a single punch.
There are two kinds of guns. Those I have acquired, and those I hope to.

Re: I almost just pulled my gun...
1st I apologize if I offended you due to your sister. I have two cousins who are both special needs, one of which is severe who I have worked with closely since my aunt, his mother passed several years back without leaving any long term care for him.
I don’t believe in P.C. bull shit I use the word retard or retarded like I use the word *** when my brother or close friend does something stupid. My brothers step son is gay and I love him, but I still use the word *** and so does my brother.
I don’t assume to know everyone’s personal life nor do I assume anyone to know mine unless I share it. I’m mixed race and have heard more what I consider racist shit here and other places all my life.
I grew a thicker skin and don’t take life personal.
Again my apologies.Last edited by Hodgie; February 5th, 2019 at 06:36 PM.

Re: I almost just pulled my gun...
Read two pages.... Skipped to end..... I would have done same regardless of car running.
Suddenly pop from the shadows at night in my driveway and approach me asking for ride(to a casino no less) and my natural reaction would be hand on grip. If yours isn't, then you just gave up valuable time.
I have never felt that casually putting my hand on the grip is too far. It serves as a hand rest 99.9% of the time for me anyway. Rather, t's a polite way of saying "don't f@#k with me".With great power comes great responsibility....
