I think that it should say, and define, that reasonable attempts must be made. Also that you can't create threatening situations for yourself. I think this could have great potential.
Oh yeah, I liked this too.
Yes and no. I'm sorry PJ, but you are too good of an example. I honestly don't think my sister would stand much of a chance against the average sized male, let alone someone who is just a big dude. She wouldn't stand a chance, but a weapon could increase the odds if used properly.

This law can be a catch 22. There can be many interpretations of the law by many different people, and what one person may feel as life threatening another may not.
I think this will start a killing frenzy among the lowerclass population.
I can picture it now:
You got a prollem essay? Why you lookin at me funny? Oh you gonna stab me? Bang Bang.
Will it still be justified if the gun used was stolen and he/she shot in self deffense? Hmmmm
*watches as legislation opens a can of worms

heres the biggest concern i have with the law:
And, he argued, it gives defense attorneys a potential avenue to seek acquittal for crimes. In effect, criminals will benefit much more often than any innocent victim. "It'* going to give the guy who'* really looking for a fight, or does something totally irresponsible or venal, a defense he would not otherwise have."

I personally hope this gets killed quick, before too many people do.
Thinking from the "other side of the badge", we got too many people shooting each other now. Give them a loophole to potentially make it legal, and I hate to think what would happen. Or, you get someone who thinks they are Clint Eastwood, goes the legal purchase/license/carry route, and then gets their gun taken from them in a situation and instead of defending themselves ends up going from gettung mugged or beat up to being dead.....

I have a permit. And Oregon already has laws to cover this. The right to defend yourself is very well known here, and has never been abused.
Nearly 4% of Oregon adults have CCW permits as of 12/04:

Oregon has never had a self-defense shooting that was found to be un-just.
