For thirty seven years I told people the same as above, "when a crook robs you he is going to have his weapon already drawn and pointing at you." In response if your carrying a weapon and try to draw on the crook, the crook is going to put six in you before your weapon clears the holster." And in fact if the crook hits you with the first round, you'll will collapse to the ground in shock even if the round didn't hit you on one of the numbers.

We have this same thread every year. First rule of survival is flight. If you dont consider flight first then any jury or judge might conclude that whatever combat that took place was mutual in some respects. At your home/castle no flight is necessary, but anywhere else.....................just saying

Not everyone can simply run for it....
some are unable to do so because of limmited mobility
(ie handicapped or can't run...must stand and fight)

how would a judge and Jury look at that scenario?
as i don't see it as mutual... then.

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.
