I was mocking CT law. CA has same type of laws.

If national reciprocity gets passed, and even for current reciprical states, we need to know not just where we can carry, but what the threshold is for use of force.

Mandatory retreat laws go past gun free zones, and take it to a no fight back zone. BG walks in your front door, says I am her to steal your stuff, you are required to walk out the back door and watch, just to avoid violence. Surprised they don't require you to help load the guys van.

I know school fights are different, but right here in Texas you have to get punched twice and be in a corner before you can fight back. I told my son if he did nothing to provoke it, no one lands a punch on him, and if he defends himself and gets in trouble, I’ll take him out for ice cream. So far he has been able to avoid real fights well into high school. But he knows where the line is should it be needed.
