I admit to being a little confused. Your blog post describes section (b) as saying:
- Secondly, the person using defensive force must have a reasonable belief that an intruder or attacker intends to inflict death or serious bodily harm upon them or others present in the exact location. This condition underscores the importance of having a genuine and reasonable fear for personal safety when resorting to defensive actions.
But the current law section (b) reads:
(b) The lawful occupant of a home, motor vehicle, or workplace
is presumed to have held a reasonable fear of imminent death or serious bodily harm to himself or herself or another when using defensive force that is intended or likely to cause death or serious bodily harm to another if both of the following apply 1) The person against whom the defensive force was used was in the process of unlawfully and forcefully entering, or had unlawfully and forcibly entered, a home, motor vehicle, or workplace, or if that person had removed or was attempting to remove another against that person's will from the home, motor vehicle, or workplace.(2) The person who uses defensive force knew or had reason to believe that an unlawful and forcible entry or unlawful and forcible act was occurring or had occurred.
Section (f) reads:
(f) A lawful occupant within his or her home, motor vehicle, or workplace does not have a duty to retreat from an intruder in the circumstances described in this section.
So, section (b) reads the lawful occupant...is presumed to have held a reasonable fear of imminent death or serious bodily harm. Therefore under (f) one has no duty to retreat.
What am I missing that you are trying to explain?
