Why should I retreat when I'm being attacked I have right of self defence. I also belive that family of criminal should have no legal recourse against a person defending himself.
If they are killed while commiting a crime or assualt against a person . They choose the action and paid the price.
It todays world I should have the legal right to protect my self,family ,others and my PROPERTY against assualt or theft.
