No, I think that people should just flee and run away from trouble.   Phone 911, and let the police handle the matter.   Now if you are unable to flee for some reason, or are inside your home, I would support defending yourself under those circumstances.

However , your use of force has to be reasonable.   For example, in discussing another news story on this website, some people appeared to be advocating the shooting of unarmed teenage girls.   I don't think that doing that is at all reasonable.

If we do not outlaw Tasers in Oregon, then at the very least we should do background checks on people that buy them.   And make them get a license to carry one,   They deserve to be regulated as much as guns currently are.

Don't you agree with that?
