Duty to retreat, castle doctrine not mentioned? Hmmmmm

************* says:

I'm not 100% certain of this but Arizona law actually states that a jury can still find you guilty of murder even if you can prove you legally shot someone in self-defense so don't think you can kill someone just because you fulfilled all the legal requirements for claiming self-defense.

Jesus Nava says:

Say less I’m on my way to my neighbors house to get some sugar hopefully I don’t get shot remember I just went for sugar. This real it’s not fair peoples lives will be in danger

JackA55six says:

According to this criminal defense attorney, someone that kicked my door in and has entered my house doesn't necessarily mean that I am in immediate danger. I find it hard to wrap my head around that one.

Victor Gutierrez says:

They should REQUIRE gun owners to complete training on proper use of force, gun safety, and proper storage BEFORE they take their guns home. These 2a cultists are so eager to get to shoot someone, it's disgusting. If you buy a gun HOPING you get to shoot someone you shouldn't be a gun owner.

Crusty old men

bigfoot says:

Might want to familiarize yourself with election law, that’s where all the problems lie.

King Moto says:

Crazy how the citizens have to have better education then the officers patrolling the streets. I’m not talking about these particular incidents, those were straight reckless.

Kevin Burgess says:

I know the law you play around with me you're going to get shot it's a simple as that

Ghost Tape No. 9 says:

In Az. The state has to prove you weren’t acting in self defense. If you post signs stating no trespassers that counts as a lawful command. If they don’t comply it shows intent to harm or steal….

Bubba Redneck says:

Even if it is justified prepare to b treated like a criminal. They take your weapon and place you in custody until its proven that it was self defense.

max rockanski says:

It's simple…endanger others lives you die..riot you die…welcome to Arizona and we are anti-communist so none of the woke pervert narratives will work here. Riots disguised as protests stoking treason among citizens is punishable by death.

walker Barr says:

Why are you using other state events to compare to arizona? Because we’re a heavily 2A state… yes if you break into my home I’m in fear of my life.

If you cross the threshold of a home with ill intent prepare to be dealt with… I have the right to protect myself and my home.

Autistic Solvigerigntist says:

Self defense is key yet we do nothing about wrongfull use of deadly force

Marie Hod says:

hey your telling me that shooting someone that is running away is NOT self defense? hmmm could of fooled me why do all these cops get away with doing that then? just sayin

My golf balls annoy says:

Only 👮🏻 can murder you in self defense.. “oops.. When they are scared which is always” they are not heroes
