Sorry for the late answer. I was watching the Hannah Montana movie with my niece - her present for being a brave girl when they took out her appendix last week.

In Maryland we have something call the “duty to retreat”. If someone breaks into your house, and they’re armed, and you’re armed, you still don’t automatically get to shoot them. If you can resolve the situation by running away and leaving the field to the bad guy, you can, under certain circumstances, be held responsible for not doing so.

Sound crazy? It is. And it’s reason no. 1,933,842 that I’m moving away.
