FROM WHAT I UNDERSTOOD ABOUT THE LAW, IS THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO RUN BEFORE TAKING ACTIONS TO DEFEND YOURSELF. BEFORE, YOU HAD TO SHOW MEASURES TO GET OUT OF THE SITUATION BEFORE RESORTING TO VIOLENCE. sorry bout caps. in other words, if a person mugged you on the street you would have had to run away, or at least try before you could kick the guy in the face. This is a touchy subject, i personally believe a person should be able to act pre-emptively. The way Gov' bush put it if i remember, he basically said he was extending the rights you have in your home to defend your person and belongings, out onto the street. It kinda makes sence. there are way too many laws that restrict victims rights out there. I'm no fan of republicans, or the Bush family, but I don't see the problem of this law.
