      WA is a “stand your ground” state, but it is accomplished by case law (state supreme court) rather than by statute. See State of Washington versus Reynaldo Redmond (2003).

      Such a USican concept.

      Stupid and possibly deadly to both parties in practice

      Arizona is probably the most liberal standard ground state out of all 50. Standard ground extends to any place that you’re allowed to be in. It’s the wild West out here.

      I am just going to say the controversial truth here. If you can be shot dead by a cop for just having a gun on you, you don’t have a right to stand your ground. These laws are just political theatre to make idiots think they have more power than they do while the billionaires build bunkers.

      Stand your ground laws „feel right“ to a lot of people. But in practice, they make it too easy to legally kill someone. Duty to retreat is a more ethical approach. Note that this does not interfere with the castle doctrine and duty to retreat is a pretty minimal thing to do–try to get away before using lethal force. Let the police handle it when possible. If you tried to retreat and your attacker still pursues OR you cannot retreat, the law is still on your side. „duty to retreat laws require a person to attempt to avoid a deadly confrontation by retreating to safety before using deadly force in self-defense, *if* they can do so safely.“

      This is based on the idea that many people threaten, few carry it through. A decision to retreat does a lot to make it more clear what the intent actually is.

      California is a de-facto „stand your ground“ state thanks to case law, in People v Heckler (1895), and is reflected in jury instruction given in that state. (Meaning there is no strict ‚duty to retreat‘ in California.) Where it differs from other ’stand your ground‘ states is (a) force must be proportional and reasonable, (b) you may not be the initial aggressor in the conflict, and (c) you have no statutory immunity–meaning you wind up going through trial in court to prove you were acting in reasonable defense of yourself.

      A typically “stand your ground” law includes ;

      „Stand your ground“ laws allow individuals to use reasonable force, including deadly force, to defend themselves against imminent threats without any duty to retreat first. These laws apply in any place someone is legally allowed to be, extending beyond the home, and often provide immunity from prosecution. Synonyms include „no duty to retreat“ laws or sometimes „line in the sand“ laws”.

      Those states in red on average have higher murder rates than states without stand your ground laws.

      „Colorado is a „stand your ground“ state by judicial precedent instead of statute“…

      California is a stand your ground state by case law per the California Supreme Court.

      are you trying to point out stand your ground, or relating this to castle doctrine? because they can be and are in most cases different. Just wondering.

      I’m a left-leaning Minnesotan and even I think stand-your-ground should be universal.

    23. boozooloo on

      What always confuses me about this is does stand your ground include the right to defend your property with deadly force?

    27. phrogBOI369 on

      Huh, it seems like the ones with the most gun violence are the ones that tell you not to fight back.

      In the Peoples Democratic Republic of Maryland, criminals have more rights than you.

      I pray Oregon has something similar if not more in favor of the person standing their ground. People need to learn to back tf up an not escalate.

    30. Atechiman on

      A lot of the grey states have no duty retreat so have no need to have stand your ground laws.

    31. Guilty-Shoulder-9214 on

      NM has a state constitutional right to self defense but requires you to match force with force unless you’re in a home or car where castle doctrine can factor in.
