Sometime in the last 15 years Connecticut became a flee state. Which means if a criminal breaks into your house you must flee even if it means jumping out the back window.
The right to protect home and life should be restored to the citizens.
When I got my pistol permit it was explained to me three conditions were needed to justify force.
1) The person must demonstrate they intend to harm you. As in, “I will kill you!”.
2) They must have the means to harm you, as in a gun or knife …etc
3) They must have the immediate opportunity to harm you. A threat over the phone from the Yukon Territories from an armed hunter does not count. But a threat from a man with a knife 3 feet away does.
This evidently this has been replaced by all of the above plus the overriding concern of “were you out of breath from running?”.
It seems to me you increase your risk of injury by turning and running and that this decreases your odds of coming out of the encounter that is most likely not your fault nor started by you and increases the odds of your attacker(s) in hurting or killing you.
The odds of you getting hurt or killed is increased because,
1) You have to turn your back to run, presenting a nice non-threatening target,
2) Your attention is turned to fleeing not to the threat at hand.
Do the priorities of the “flee” concept seem out of wack?
