HMMM. Not an idiot here. Just an observer of how life really operates. Do other states have these laws? This is quite different than the "shoot the burglars laws" that involve an invasion of one's home. Also, I don't think its says that I am a liberal that I don't think its a great idea to return to ways of the old West in this regard

Yes, Florida was the first to enact this law, Arizona just recently signed on into law and there are several other states that allow you to stand your ground and not have to flee like a rabbit when you are out minding your own business. If you are the poster who said you are a long time NRA member I am surprised you don't know this already. I guess you don't read the American Rifleman or the American hunter much huh?

Also, the old west didn't have as many deaths as people have been led to believe. We have more kilings in the average city today then happened in Dodge or deadwood. Also, none of these laws gives people the right to simply shoot someone they don't agree with.

However, if you are being attacked you have the right to respond with force, even if the attack is not with a deadly weapon. I, for one, have a pace maker and other problems, should I be forced to endure being beaten on, mugged or just robbed simply because a person like you is scared to defend himself and thinks I should be the same?

Someone attacks me they had better duck because I will defend myself. People like you who scream about returning to the old west, etc. are definately liberals. This is one of their main talking points when trying to disarm American citizens.
