Talk:Duty to retreat

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] What country?

It's a little unclear just what country's law is being discussed here. Even common law varies from place to place, even among jurisdictions that recognize the notion. For example Florida is a common-law state (in the US, only Louisiana is not) but has statutorily removed the duty to retreat. This needs to be clarified; right now it seems to be written almost entirely from a UK perspective, which would be fine if the title were Duty to retreat (UK). --Trovatore 01:15, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Unfortunately, I do not know any other laws so I can only write what I write. I have clearly stated the geographical limitation. It is for others to add. As and when there is a sufficient quantity of material, we can fork by jurisdiction. If you can add for the U.S., please do so. David91 02:37, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

I don't have any objection to the "English law" section. It's the lead paragraph above it that I think makes points specific to UK law without identifying them as such. --Trovatore 04:22, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Looks good now. --Trovatore 05:04, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
