Stand Your Ground laws refer specifically to those laws which allow homeowners to take up arms in defense of their own dwelling place, eliminating the legal duty to retreat from an attacker within the confines of your home and property before using deadly force, but recently, they’ve been drawn into a national conversation about gun violence that centers on the Zimmerman-Martin incident that had pretty much nothing to do with Stand Your Ground laws. But it’s got a catchy name and implicates a gun control initiative, so why worry about the legalistic details surrounding legislation when the political outcry works in your favor?
