Dub, the "duty to retreat" portion was removed 2 or 3 years ago, as it pertains to the Castles Doctrine.
If in your home, car, etc. you don't, WON'T, for many of us, have to show retreat.
I'll support this with facts when I get to my PC in the morning.
That is what I was saying. No duty to retreat. But there must be a threat to life for self defense as any "reasonable person" would see it. If you believe lasers were going to shoot out of his eyes, not reasonable. But any little pansy can sit in a courtroom and say you could have retreated. That was just too stupid. So they removed the duty to retreat. But shooting a thief is limited and a fuzzy line I would stay away from.
But if they get lost in the woods
