Maybe in liberal California (where your 80 year old grandmother has a duty to retreat), thankfully not in my state. A punch to the face can be fatal, and you don't have to take one. Also, what an idiotic idea that one must assume that a "punch to the face" is all that is going to follow - and not a knife, head smashing on the ground, etc. This is frankly disgusting.

Got it, sometimes lawfully exercising your rights should mean you befall violence: I am glad I don't live in whatever shithole area you reside in. Perhaps we should extend this ideology to voting for the wrong candidate? - If you don't vote for who I want, it should result in an "ass whupping." Maybe your property: if you don't give me the contents of your wallet, it should result in an "ass whupping." This is bully mentality, and isn't tolerated in polite society.
Would a cop in your state tolerate a punch to the face? How would you expect him to respond?
