We have Stand your ground Here in NH and the population is quite satisfied with it. There is an implication here that because in the past you have stood outside of the social norms that you don't have the right to defend yourself. That is just insane.

The law, as it stands now, seems to give people the ability to instigate a situation and then shoot their way out of it. That is just so wrong, on so many levels, that I don't really have words for it. OK, maybe "wrong" is a good enough word for it.
