(81,110 posts)But that was never my understanding of SYG. I thought the castle part meant your own castle as in your own home and/or private property. If indeed it means any-old-where you feel like it, then all the more reason to see it done away with! Because that would mean that ANYBODY ANYWHERE could be perceived for any reason to be some sort of threat, and somebody could just shoot you arbitrarily because they "felt" like they were being threatened. On somebody's whim - as long as they claimed they felt threatened. That's just simple "License to Kill," and therefore it seems even more stupid and reckless and short-sighted to me than I already thought it was. GRANTED, not claiming to be an authority here.
I can in a small way understand a SYG policy if it involves home invasion or something that in some way violates or endangers your personal space in your own residence.
