Agreed oldmarksman!!!

The use of a firearm against another person is an act of last resort; used only when you have made a significant effort to avoid having to use it.

Self defense is self preservation, and retreating is not only an option but a great option. Standing your ground might be legal but I doubt that it is the wisest choice.
