38. The defendant of course had a duty to retreat...into his house

The judge decided he was not in his house. Your claim is still bunk: there is a clear exception to the duty to retreat for people inside their own homes: that's obvious from your own link, where it twice notes the exception! Indeed, the entire case that you cited turns on whether that exception applies in this particular case, since the defendant was not *in* his house but in his doorway. We're not going to be able to have much of a conversation if you don't understand the cases that you yourself are citing!

And you still can't find a single case. These laws were utterly unnecessary. Your economic argument is similar nonsense, since it is all speculation on your part anyway.
