South Dakota: I don't see how we are in disagreement. I said I belive in the right to defend oneself and innocent others with deadly force anywhere one happens to be so long as one is there legally. I said it was an awesome responsibility. Just as I have the right to procede on a green light, but I do not if I see that another car is not going to stop.

(Mostly I support this right because it legally precludes idiotic blame the victim questions. Criminals choose the settings of thier crimes, innocent citizens should not be called to answer for the criminal's choices.)

I do draw a distinction between pretending you are a Guardian Angel (I think he got himself killed, didn't he) and being a LTC civilian going to the store, for a jog, whatever. Smart people don't go looking for trouble, or run into burning buildings unless it is thier job and they have lots of training on how to do it safely.
