Duty to retreat?

[SouthernBoy]

Kansas is even more loosley written than your example, If you have the legal right to be where your at and your preceive a danger of bodily harm or death to yourself or others you may use deadly force and have no duty to retreat.

That said if I have an out I'm going to be running like a school girl. Last thing I ever want to do is have to use deadly force. But it good to know I'm covered if I do have too.

This is the same as it is in Virginia. The threat doesn't even have to be found to be genuine, only your perception that you are in imminent danger for your safety.

As a couple of you have mentioned, I too can no longer run or fight as I was once capable of doing because of my knees. This is a major reason why I carry openly. I want my visible sidearm to be a deterrent to those who might wish to do me harm and tell them perhaps they may want to select another victim or just leave the area.
