Which state has the best self defense laws?
>A Tucson man shot and killed a visiting doctor during a traffic dispute.
>The shooter eventually acknowledged he made the wrong decision and pleaded the case down from manslaughter to negligent homicide.
>Finally, on Oct. 6, the defendant, Jason Jameson, received a sentence — four years of probation. For killing a man.
>While there is responsibility to go around, especially belonging to the Pima County Superior Court judge who delivered the sentence, the outcome rests significantly on Arizona’s forgiving self-defense laws. >When a killer claims self-defense, the prosecution must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that it was not before they get to the question of guilt for the crime.
>Also, while standard jury instructions tell jurors that the use of force must be reasonable and proportional, they are remarkably forgiving toward mistakes.
>Arizona’s Legislature embraced “stand your ground” — the idea that people may kill in self-defense or defense of others as long as they are somewhere they are legally allowed to be, doing something they’re legally allowed to do, and the force was reasonable against the threat presented.
>In 2006, Arizona made the change that has really complicated prosecutions of cases in which a person kills and claims self-defense. >That’s when they shifted the burden so that the prosecution must prove to a jury that the defendant was not acting in self-defense.
>“When I entered the practice of criminal law, self defense was an affirmative defense,” Pima County Attorney Laura Conover said. “The defense had to prove that self-defense was at play and was the justification for the actions of the defendant. And then the burden shifted.”
>“The Arizona Legislature has chosen the right to bear arms and the right to defend yourself and property to such an extent that that our prosecutions are absolutely impacted,” she said.

I will never forget the words of the "wild west pimp style" lady who sees people as "not yet convinced felons". Glad that bitch got ignored and we got constitutional carry but that's forever burned into my skull that that's how they see regular people

it's not like there was any shortage of /pol/troons gloating about it either: unfortunately people largely seem more concerned with tribalism and spiting other groups than any actual ideology or principles
I swear you could get some people to cut off their own fucking legs if you told them it would make [opposition group] mad

What strikes my funny bone is the precedence set during these last events that if the parties were flipped the other end of the horseshoe would b screaming. People (understandably) get riled up by Ruby Ridge and there are some parallels between the Petti shooting (heh) and that:
>ATF agents shoot dog
>Border Patrol agents shoot a bitch
The icing on the cake is that the death in this latest case was the complete lack of communication between agents and disarming the guy. Combine that and most of them are wearing Temu gear in an attempt to larp as operators, it just confirms that poorfags make bad judgement calls.
