In comparison, many states are passing Stand Your Ground legislation to remove the burden to try to retreat when faced with a criminal attack. Allowing people to fight back from the start greatly increases their chance for survival.

The State is going to ALLOW us to fight back, how magnanimous... PC gun control advocates have led us to a place where AMERICAN SOLDIERS are DISARMED and HELPLESS. If the citizenry has the RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS, certainly soldiers should be allowed to carry sidearms for just such an occasion.

Could one open fire on his fellow? Yes, but not for very long...

New Jersey has one of the most restrictive rules regarding home break ins.

If someone has broken into your home you must first attempt to escape.If you have a firearm for protection you must tell them before you fire that you have a weapon and are going to use it.

In Israel all military persons, both men and women carry their weapons at ALL times. It was very common to see them mixed with people at malls, restaurants, anywhere in public with a weapon slung over their shoulder. It was comforting to know if anyone tried anything crazy, there would be someone within eyesight to take them down!
