Post #28--it's on the second page of the thread.joab said:Where exactly did the OP state that the doors were four feet apart?
You quoted it in your post (post #29) immediately following his.Mags said:I was at a duplex, two front doors about 4 feet apart. Same porch, same yard.
I keep seeing this statement popping up, but I never see anyone pointing to a law that says going accidentally to the wrong address means you forfeit your right to self-defense.And he was still at the wrong address, which was easily avoidable
Since you quoted me, you also have never seen me state or imply that.I keep seeing this statement popping up, but I never see anyone pointing to a law that says going accidentally to the wrong address means you forfeit your right to self-defense.
.It really boils down to this: For the OP's situation, the question is NOT whether he has a right to self-defense. The question is what are his options and what is his best choice for self-defense
True, but my understanding of that statement is that it implies not KNOWINGLY being where you aren't supposed to be. Certainly, you should do your best to not accidentally be where you're not supposed to be. But mistakes happen.Don't be where you're not supposed to be is probably something that our mother's taught us at a very early age.
