Someone refresh my memory – was it Massachusetts where a prominent politician suggested that if you discover a burglar in your home you should flee your home and let the police handle it?

I am not a lawyer, but I believe that here in Massachusetts the law is that you must exit your house if there is an intruder, unless thst is not possible. Only then can you use lethal force (assuming of course, that the local police chief has granted your application for a gun license based on his determination that you have a "legitimate need.")
