There needs to be a middle ground between SYG, which can enable people to provoke conflict, and DTR, which empowers criminals to carjack and do other evil deeds (SYG doesn't apply to vehicles IIRC). You need only look to California and a few other locales where extreme theft is occurring with little to no deterrence. Folks will say, "it's just property and property can be replaced." They ignore the ripple effect of increased insurance premiums, increased cost of goods, and thieves - facing no consequences - just doing it again and again.

A good middle ground would be the state being less aggressive with personal ownership of less than lethal solutions.
