What’s important to know is that SYG laws do not affect the circumstances under which you may use lethal force, nor do they excuse its use where it’s not warranted!
...Regardless of what the uninformed news media might say, a SYG law doesn’t give you special privileges; it doesn’t remove the legal litmus test of the use of lethal force; it doesn’t make lethal force any easier to justify; and it doesn’t give anyone a ‘hunting license’ for other human beings.
...Once you understand the legalities of the use of lethal force it’s a lot easier to understand why stand your ground laws are both important to your safety and irrelevant when determining your justification for the use of that force.
