There is no reason that anyone has to back down or run from bullies or thieves. Most SYG laws are actually good law designed to give some level of legal protection to honest citizens. The problem arises when the law is used (misused?) by people who were the aggressors. If the justice system is working properly, and the court officials are doing their job, this should not be a problem. Sadly, sometimes the safe guards don't work.
