Apart from gunfire, what do the two events have in common? Goetz, writes Richard Maxwell Brown, was acquitted of wrongdoing in the spirit of a uniquely American view of self-defense, a view forged in frontier gunfights like Hickok’s. When faced with a deadly threat, we have the right to stand our ground and fight. We have no duty to retreat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"University of Oklahoma Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44986752073781,"sku":"ByrdShop_0806126183","price":26.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780806126180_b21d183a-1f8b-4d12-973a-06a2b10ca21b.jpg?v=1778893144","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/no-duty-to-retreat-violence-and-values-in-american-history-and-society-9780806126180","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
