Hope I'm not getting "CRS" syndrome, :grin but I seem to have forgotten the last letter of the AOJ triad.... the one that really isn't in the acronym, but should be. and would turn the "triad" into a "quadrad." Certainly "Ability, Opportunity, Jeopardy," but the fourth element (I recall it starts with a "P"), is the one that describes whether or not one has the "duty to retreat" in the given situation.

Anybody recall what the "P" is?

Thx. :thumsup

According to Branca there are 5: innocence, imminence, proportionality, reasonableness and avoidance.

You guys beat me to it. Just found this thread.

The elimination of Preclusion (or "duty to retreat") is what SYG is all about.

It bugs the ever-living $hit out of me when I hear pundits, politicians, reporters, and activists say that SYG means "shoot first and ask questions later." :aarg Absolutely false. Intentionally false. What I like to call DISinformation.

Nope. ALL the prerequisites for the use of lethal force still apply. You just don't have to prove that you couldn't run away.
