Brady Release Refers to HB 5143

Here's the scoop:

Here is the Michigan legislative language, from House Bill 5143:

'A person who is not engaged in an unlawful activity and who is attacked in any other place where he or she has a right to be has no duty to retreat and has the right to stand his or her ground and meet force with force, including deadly force if he or she reasonably believes it is necessary to do so to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or to another person or to prevent the commission of a forcible felony.'

Here is the Florida language:

'A person who is not engaged in an unlawful activity and who is attacked in any other place where he or she has a right to be has no duty to retreat and has the right to stand his or her ground and meet force with force, including deadly force if he or she reasonably believes it is necessary to do so to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another or to prevent the commission of a forcible felony.'

Apparently they think that being identical to the Florida law is bad. This is why there can never be any discussion of any sort with these people.

According to the Bradys, if you are not engaged in unlawful activity and have a right to be where you happen to be, and are attacked, you should not be allowed to defend yourself. You should run away--run away--and let the punk shoot you in the back as you try to scale the first 6-foot chain-link fence you run into.
