    i think showing restraint is necessary if you have the slightest chance of not having to go lethal just for the sake of life itself. depending on the situation of course. if its someone intoxicated with a knife staggering at you, you could probably just as much trip his ass . armed home invader: let them have it, too risky. pedophile: im sure you have an idea what anyone with a sense of humanity would do amd I've personally heard cops say theyd "probably" turn a blind eye to it

    Big win here in Arkansas, past couple years the wording of our state law said that just carring a firearm doesn't represent the unlaw intent of carring a weapon to committ a crime and it's been clarified that we are a Constitutional carry state and just this year we had the duty to retreat law recended. Now we all need to follow Texas and start recending all unconstitutional gun laws.

    Here in Texas it's even better as it relates to the home. Anything attached to the home is considered the home like carports, porches you name it so long as it's attached it's the home and the can use lethal force. The problem is that many people think it extends to the rest of their property and barns and it doesn't. You still have no duty to retreat but even pulling your gun on a trespasser can land you in jail unless they are armed and even then pulling the trigger requires they reach for that firearm. I open carry on my property and often with my AR since I have to deal with coyotes and hogs and have run into trespassers. Most just run but I have had to call the cops on one that didn't. My guns stayed in the holster and my AR over my chest but with my hands on it just in case. That kept me out of jail since he turned out to be unarmed. I don't see trespassers anymore since day or night the ones around here who would do that know that I go down into the pastures day and night armed. And I'm not making much noise or using a flashlight until I have to since I can see fairly well at night.

    The standard here is the Kansas Personal and Family Protection Act of 2010 wherein you have a right to your defense and the defense others and your and their property. The KPFPA also establishes that if there is no criminal prosecution for the person defending such then there can be no civil protection. So if the determination of the criminal prosecutor is self defense then the assailant and their family have no legal standing for a civil prosecution.

    Unfortunately what most people fail to recognize is that when you turn and run from a predator it only empowers the Predator instinct. It doesn't matter if it's a lion a dog or a man. It triggers and empowers the Predator instinct. No one should ever have to turn and run from a human predator. Safely sneak away to avoid the conflict Maybe.

    Well said, sir. In my State of residence, there is a condition of preclusion written into the concealed carry statute, and I find it both reasonable and advisable. Of course this only pertains to matters that can be determined in advance of conflict, and when such can be done safely. As you say, it would be difficult to imagine that any rational person would not want to avoid armed conflict if possible. Far too many citizens fail to understand the level of responsibility that comes with carrying a firearm for defense, and the complexity of law in this regard. As with so many other aspects of living, the more I learn about this, the more I realize there is to learn.

    My 2 cents. I suspect that everything discussed in this article pertains to use of deadly force, be it at church, in your home, on the street, etc. If you have a right to be in that location, and did not initiate the conflict, you have a Constitutionally protected right to self defense. That extends in part to third parties. The largest issue in third party matters derives from the factors involved in what initiated the conflict. In a church environment, it will be easier [ not easy ] to monitor the actions of those in attendance, if the protective team is of sufficient numbers. I would advise that each member have attended at least two individual classes in firearm use for self defense, not including a concealed carry class. These classes should be taught and certified by current or former LEO, preferably members of IALEFI or ASLET. I can't address specifics as each church will have specific needs. Become very familiar with the laws in your State, your county prosecutors office and record of actions in this regard, and what, if any, liability insurance the church or diocese might have and whether or not it will cover the team. You may also want to contact other church protective teams in your State for additional information.

    Like Massad says, finding case law about these things in your state is absolutely crucial to understanding the differences between the stand-your-ground laws between states, although most of them are very similar to the Florida statutes in language and legal consequence. The trouble with some random lay individual (Let me be clear, I am not referring to Massad, I mean the general public) just reading a statute and thinking they now understand it is that there is almost always underlying nuance. It has every appearance of being written in English, but actually it isn't even though the typeface may look familiar. It is written in lawyer. Law is written by lawyers in the language of lawyers for other lawyers to read and do lawyer things with. For the layman, it's like being able to read and write except he has no knowledge of punctuation whatsoever, even of a period. For instance, in the state I live in, Iowa, the opposite of what the Florida Supreme Court decided with regard to the immunity hearing common to stand your ground legislation across states has occured: In State vs Wilson (2020) the Iowa Supreme Court held that the immunity hearing applies only to civil trial on the grounds that the text of the statute grants immunity from liability, not immunity from prosecution as in other states. From the opinion: "On appeal, the defendant argues that Iowa Code section 704.13 entitled him to a pretrial evidentiary hearing where he could have presented his justification defense and been vindicated without need for a trial. See Iowa Code § 704.13. We conclude, however, that the 2017 legislation does not require pretrial hearings. Significantly, section 704.13 provides an immunity from "liability," id., not an immunity from "prosecution" as in some other states with stand-your-ground laws." Obviously, most of us would hold that this is not the intent of that law given that the statute itself uses the phrasing "criminal or civil liability" but the state supreme court ruled and we now need to approach it with corrective legislation or hope for clarification from the US Supreme Court (not likely).

    Also for whatever it's worth the defendant in State Vs Wilson was, by even his own account of the events he gave to police, not justified in his use of deadly force and the jury rendered a guilty verdict, convicting him of voluntary manslaughter.

    Hello Mas. How about doing a video for each state's carry laws? Or perhaps, a video covering a certain aspect of a law that deals with defensive carry/etc, and touching briefly on how each state covers that law, ( at least those states that are generally gun friendly, etc ). Just like with attending your LFI-1 lecture at FAS, the knowledge and wisdom you present in these videos is eye-opening and extremely valuable to the legally armed citizen. Keep these videos coming! Thank you, Mas.

    I appreciate responsible gun people. I was trained on basic hunting firearms a long time ago, so I've never had a problem with gun people. To make it clear, I don't own any firearm and have not for a very long time. I am not afraid of firearms in the hands of responsible people. I would love to see my current fear addressed that being a lunatic disguising themself as an RCMP officer that performed a mass shooting spree in Nova Scotia, Canada. My argument is that IF we were permitted to be armed citizens, the odds might have changed massively.

    If Trayvon Martin had produced a piece & wasted the vicious punk Zimmermann his position under the Florida statute would have been unassailable - he was breaking no law/committing no crime, & had a right to be where he was. How would he have been treated by Florida law enforcement had he done so ? And, ardent & sincere defender of law enforcement's standards that he is, how does he account for the failure of the cops on the scene to arrest the smirking little twerp on the spot ? How blatant does it have to get ?

    Two men got into a conflict outside a store, one man hit the other with his fist knocking him to the ground . As the man turned to walk away the man on the ground pulled a gun and shot the man in the back killing him. The man with the gun said he was standing his ground, the court put him in prison. Standing your ground shouldn't mean that when you're getting your ass kicked in a fist fight not involving deadly force you can kill with a gun. That's the cowards way.

    I agree that if the law is applied fairly, and that is a big if, there is little difference between stand your ground and duty to retreat. In both cases, you are allowed to use lethal force if you’re in serious danger. If you can safely retreat you are probably not in serious danger. In a completely fair world there is very little difference.

    True, a person can be sued even if they are found innocent. Do what Trump does and that's to file a countersuit accusing the family of the person(s) of not seeking enough or doing enough to help their troubled family member. Sue them for pain and anguish for having to use force up to deadly force because their family member made you feel threatened, experienced fear, etc. In other words turn their lawsuit around back at them. When suits are filed against each other sometimes ends with both parties dropping their suits.

    Even animals in the wild know that if they can’t retreat safely then they must defend themselves. I’m reminded of a baboon attempting to run from a lion but at some point it had to turn and fight in some form because it couldn’t get away. As well I’ve seen law enforcement trip a perpetrator while running behind them trying to catch them. Not all physiques are equal and there can be a big disparity between an aggressor and someone trying to defend themselves. Cf. disparity of force laws as well.

    During my first job right out of college, I was actually in a situation that tested my understanding of "stand your ground" law. Even though I live in a "stand your ground" state and fully agree with the policy, it's important for people to remember that the law primarily exists as a legal protection for situations in which retreat is NOT possible. If you are able to escape, doing so is better than potentially being involved in a life-altering self-defense incident. During the 2020 Election, I was a door-to-door canvasser for a local race. It was not uncommon to have homeowners get angry at me for bothering them about politics. However, one deranged individual armed with a knife decided he wanted to force me to leave his neighborhood. He did not draw the knife, but I clearly saw it on his hip and wanted to keep my distance from him as I backed away. As he continued to aggressively approach me, I had a choice to make: would I stop retreating, yell at him to "Stop!" and reach for my gun? Or, would I turn and run to my car to escape? Even though I had a right to be on that public sidewalk, I opted to run. I turned and quickly hopped in my car, driving away as fast as I could. He pursued me on his motorcycle until I made a sudden U-turn up the street that he was not able to follow. After that, I slipped away into a different neighborhood and called the police. When the police arrived, they took a statement from me and said they would go talk to him (I had his address). In that moment, "stand your ground" may have justified me staying on the sidewalk. But why would I have chosen to stay? Between swallowing my pride and potentially being involved in a life-altering self-defense incident, I opted to swallow my pride. There was no compelling reason to stay, so retreating was the best option. "Stand your ground" exists because retreat is not always possible or because you may have a compelling reason to stay where you are. But if you don't have a compelling reason to stay and CAN successfully escape, I recommend that option.

    here in CA (yes, the people's Republik of Commifornia) I have my CCW. The FIRST thing we learned in the class was de-escalation of a situation. The second thing we learned is that, even in a justified shooting, we would spend about 1.5 million in legal defense and civil lawsuits against defending our lives with a firearm. The criminals have more rights than law abiding citizens in my lovely blue state. After 21 years of being a CA resident, I'm joining the mass exodus to a sane state surrounded by red.

    Very informative for the criminal prosecution side but lacking on the civil prosecution side. The civil system is an absolutely disgusting process. It has been abused by "ambulance chasers" and will just as easily RUIN your life. You will be forced to hire a civil attorney if you can afford to. If you don't hire an attorney, for whatever reason, you will lose in court, 100%. And they will take everything you own, garnish wages, etc. It is pathetic and shame on the SYSTEM for allowing it.
