Most self defense experts will tell you to put space between you and your attacker... but they don't call that retreating, that's just step 1.
Retreat when your boat is rammed?While on public land hunting, if a person is subject to the kinds of actions perpetrated by Umphlett is that person obligated to retreat or can they use measures to defend themselves? Not sure how the "NC Castle Doctrine" applies.
That mental evaluation is going to take a team of shrinks and a lot of time if they want to figure out what goes on in his head.

I'm sorry, but if he had pulled that crap on me we would have gone to trial.
Nope they didn't get him on a felony or a misdemeanor that had more than a year in jail.Hopefully he will lose his right to gun ownership. He has the potential to be one of those people where the red flags were seen and ignored.
If anyone thinks on the mental health side he'll lose his rights think again. His evaluation can show he is bat crap crazy but unless he is committed by a court to a hospital he'll be still able to buy and own guns. Few mentally I'll people are hard from owning guns.Hopefully he will lose his right to gun ownership. He has the potential to be one of those people where the red flags were seen and ignored.
