I am a bit surprised Ark didn’t already have this law.
also noticed in the article one ‘no’ representative quote that old, false statement that SYG is “a license to kill”..,, funny how slogans can take hold over investigation and rational decision making.

Thanks for the link,Bob. I hope Governor Asa Hutchison signs off on the bill.

Technically....it IS a "license to kill"...but not in a bad way.

It's a good option to have, when the only other option is to "BE killed".

Personally? I'd take that option, and make sure I'm the one walking away from the situation in the end.
