When I took my CCW (Carry Concealed Weapon) class six years ago, the instructor told us that 80 percent of shooting situations were legally ambiguous, nothwithstanding "Castle Doctrine" and "Stand Your Ground." He wisely emphasized responsibilities as well as rights, and especially when not to shoot vs. when to shoot. His conclusion: "Use the 'Nike Defense'--run!"


Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
