Meanwhile, my state makes Wisconsin seem like a restrictive hellhole by comparison as far as self defense is concerned, and would likely make these leftoids have a heart attack.
Under all situations (even while out on the street), you are under no duty to retreat, and in the event of a shooting the DA must prove to a judge that there is reasonable doubt that it was unjustified before you even get to trial. And within your own house, state law assumes that anyone on your property is a dangerous threat by default, so you have yet more protection in the event of a shooting. And that is before you get to the pro-defense DAs who take a very dim view on crime who have done some actually kind of over the top things before.
But please, tell me more about how self defense is bad.
Florida?
Kansas. But we did model our self defense laws off of theirs IIRC. But like I said, there are some local cases in more rural counties that have seen self defense be taken even stronger than the law already says.
