So the Minnesota Supreme Court just ruled that a criminals life is more valuable than yours.

No, literally: its A22-0432 State of Minnesota v. Earley Romero Blevins<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it says that, whereas in Minnesota until today you had to make a reasonable effort to retreat before using lethal force in self-defense (outside your home), now you must retreat before even attempting to present a firearm.<\/p>\n

In other words, you have to try to run away BEFORE you can draw your firearm to defend your, and your family\u2019s, lives. \ufffc\ufffc<\/p>\n

That means if someone is trying to kill you, you have to give them a couple of seconds of trying to get away before you can even start to see to your own protection.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s if you meet all the other criteria of self-defense; showing the threat to your life is reasonable and immediate, that you were not the aggressor, and that you only use the force to end the threat.<\/p>\n

Now, you can do a completely correct self-defense shooting, and still go to prison because some district attorney thinks you should\u2019ve tried harder, against a subjective standard that nobody\u2019s figured out yet, to run away BEFORE you drew a firearm (or picked up any other weapon). \ufffc\ufffc<\/p>\n

Put succinctly, it says the life of a criminal is worth more than the life of their victim.
This is completely backwards.<\/p>\n

The voters of this state should be ashamed.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
