Another good reason for me to NEVER move to CT! In FL they call it the 
Castle Doctrine, you MUST try to flee any attacker before using lethal 
force, EXCEPT if you're in your home. Here in TN there's no doctrine at 
all that says you must try to flee, but rather it's simply if you feel 
threatened with lethal force, you can return it with no need to flee :)
