Most US jurisdictions have a legal framework that enables you to kill others in self-defense.
ALL US jurisdictions have such a framework, although a 7 plus D.C. make it impractical to use by mostly not allowing concealed carry, and a subset of them have a duty to retreat which will likely get you crucified later in court (e.g. Maryland and at times, even in your home, Massachusetts). The author is said to live in New York, which is all but no possession let alone no issue in NYC, and may issue, sometimes liberally upstate, so she probably can't take your advice.
ADDED: And it still won't stop the cyberstalking, just give her a backstop if it goes "real world".
- ryanlol 11y agoI wasn't talking about the article, but responding to btillys comment and btilly never clarified the jurisdiction where the events he was describing took place. I do think that the ability to defend yourself would be of great help if you're faced with a serious threat of physical violence, as seemed to be the case in the situation btilly described. > a subset of them have a duty to retreat which will likely get you crucified later in court This is what I was referring to with "most".
