The "duty to retreat" outside of the home has one important exception----you must be able to retreat "with complete safety". If a guy has you backed against a wall, you're surrounded by a gang, or your mobility is handicapped, there is then no duty to retreat.

You're also not expected to be able to outrun a bullet.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
