Travyon’s parents propose “Trayvon Martin Amendment” to self defense law

6. A better--but unrelated--revision would be to SYG itself.

Instead of allowing it to apply anyplace that a person has a legal right to be, it should be more restricted with the requirement to attempt to retreat if there's a possibility.

Homes and where you not only have a legal right to be but a legal right to deny others the right to be should continue as is, with the explicit provision that you have given the people instructions to not be there, it should be clear that they have no right to be there, and they have the opportunity to retreat.

The OP revision basically gives you the right to kill any aggressor. Especially given the squishiness of the terms used in this case, coming up with a clear meaning woud be difficult. Some assume that by following there was aggression. To speak is viewed as confrontation. Doesn't matter who swung first, some say, "stalking" initiated the confrontation ("stalking" here means following for a few seconds, losing for minutes, and then finding again for a few seconds after a search, presumably). Coming to agreement would be a bear at this point. And doesn't solve the problem.
