Yes Doyle, I do not legally have the option of "standing my ground". Legally, I must try to escape first.
It's not Logic stone cold killer Jeff(Texassearay), its law!

I'm not sure how you came to your rape conclusion, but if a woman "reasonably" fears for her life she must do what she has to do.
Just because you are open to legally shoot(defend yourself) doesn't always mean you should. If you do shoot, it might hit you HARD afterwards if you really had to shoot/end his life.
On the up-tip, maybe this would be robber will have a appifany soon in life that will change his ways.
It's probably bleek, but it's possible. I've seen the light myself, and I wont even kill a bug, well, maybe i'll slay some mesquitos. But don't get me wrong, if I need to defend myself, family, or another innocent, you bet i'll blast!
I have a story that goes along with not shooting because you can, but i'm a little tired of starring at this computer. Maybe when i'll get some energy I will post.
Flame me if you must, but I want the best for all!
Take care gentlemen and ladies.
