Mar 2014

SYG is the latest boogieman. Its being touted as more dangerous than heat seeking bullets. SYG did not play a role in any of the three individual's deaths.

While I haven't finalized my position on SYG, the reason I'm tending to opposing it is simple. Death is final, and before allowing the use of deadly force in self defense, it makes sense to me to utilize all options to avoid taking another life.

But again, my view here is a work in progress.
