Standing your ground

Andrew Branca continues teaching about the benefits of Stand Your Ground and self-defense doctrine.
Because of the weakness of the other options - like duty to retreat.
A criminal who knows he can seize physical control of his immediate surroundings with no fear of death or grave bodily harm being visited upon him is emboldened to do exactly that. You get more violent aggression from the criminal element of society, not less, when you force law-abiding citizens to cede control to violent criminals.  It’s Heinleins’, “An armed society is a polite society,” turned topsy-turvy.
