Majorly pro-criminal bill.
Imposes a duty to retreat if a "reasonable person" would have done likewise, unless you are in your own home experiencing a home invasion.
Currently, Texans have civil immunity across the board if it is legally justifiable use of force or deadly force. This bill would remove that and provide only Civil Affirmative Defense in a home invasion scenario.
This needs to never see the light of day in a committee.
