Alabama has a "Stand Your Ground" law. If there is threat or a perceived threat , I can defend myself or others with deadly force, whether I'm at home, at a boat ramp, or in a Walmart parking lot. I will exercise that right if I am threatened at a boat ramp by a meth head. As Wiley more or less put it, there decision is to try and commit the crime, my decision is to defend myself. It might not work out good for either one of us, but it's definitely not going to work out good for them if I have about 3 seconds notice.
