The "Stand Your Ground Law" allows individuals to use force, including deadly force, to defend themselves without the duty to retreat when they feel threatened. This law is based on the belief that people have the right to protect themselves in dangerous situations, particularly in their homes or other places where they have a legal right to be. These laws vary by state in the United States, with some states having more expansive provisions than others. Critics argue that such laws can lead to unnecessary violence, while supporters believe they empower individuals to defend themselves effectively against threats.
