This video from Washington Gun Law, presented by William Kirk, analyzes a recent Minnesota Supreme Court ruling that extends the judicially created duty to retreat in self-defense cases. Kirk explains that this duty is not codified in Minnesota statute but is judge-made law, and the court has narrowly applied it to felony second-degree assault-fear involving a dangerous weapon, like a machete. He contrasts this with Washington state law, which does not impose a duty to retreat.
